Jac Caglianone breaks Florida Gators single season home run record
Matt LaPorta’s single-season home run record has stood in the Florida Gators record books since 2005. It was matched in 2022 by Wyatt Langford but stands as a record no longer. Jac Caglianone hit his 27th home run of the season Friday night in College Station, setting a new Florida record.
Langford’s time as the home run king lasted just 330 days before Caglianone took the crown.
Caglianone’s prolific season surprised even him. The sophomore from Tampa came into the season with a modest goal.
“I thought 15 home run would be good,” Caglianone said this past weekend. “I try not to think about it too much and get caught up in it,” he said. “But I’d say I surprised myself a little bit. I just have to keep seeing the ball well. I just have to take it day-by-day.”
Caglianone has four more home runs than any other player in the country and is on pace to finish with 30 homers in the regular season alone. He also ranks fourth nationally with an .863 slugging percentage (first in SEC) and tied for seventh with 65 RBI (T-second in SEC).

Caglianone is also closing in on the single-season record in the BBCOR bat era. The Texas slugger blasted 32 home runs in 2022. Caglianone still has nine more regular-season games to reach that mark and post-season home runs (SEC and NCAA Tournament) stats count for single-season records.
