Kansas City Royals rookie Jac Caglianone was doused with water by teammates Bobby Witt Jr. and Carter Jensen following a 6-2 victory over the Cleveland Guardians at Kauffman Stadium on May 4, 2026. The celebration captured the team's momentum during the 2026 MLB season.

The Royals' win improved their record as they continued their campaign at home. Witt Jr., the franchise cornerstone, and Jensen, the catcher, joined in the traditional postgame ritual for the first-round draft pick Caglianone, who wore number 14.

Photographer Ed Zurga documented the moment for Getty Images. The scene highlighted the camaraderie within a Kansas City roster blending established stars and emerging talent.
