ACL Rangers Clinch West Division, Charge Into Postseason
The ACL Rangers punched their ticket to the postseason last night, July 24, 2025, by clinching the Arizona Complex League West division with a 33-27 record. Managed by Nick Janssen, the Rangers tied the ACL White Sox but secured the crown, marking their first step toward a championship run. Here at The Prospect Times, it’s the perfect time to take a closer look at their season stats and celebrate the team’s gritty campaign.
Pitching Carries the Load
The Rangers’ arms were the backbone of their playoff push, ranking in the league’s top half across key stats.
They posted a 4.60 ERA (2nd), 626 strikeouts (7th), a 1.42 WHIP (6th), a .251 batting average against (6th), and 236 walks allowed (7th). The offense lagged in the bottom half—hitting .253 (12th), with a .376 OBP (13th), .375 SLG (11th), .716 OPS (13th), 36 HRs (5th), 219 walks (13th), and 264 RBIs (10th).
Lemos Leads the Bats
On offense, Kleimir Lemos stood out, tying Devin Fitz-Gerald for the team lead with six home runs. Lemos also paced the Rangers with 36 RBIs and 13 doubles, showing big-time pop. Fitz-Gerald, who matched Larios’ homer total, earned a promotion to Hickory, leaving Lemos to anchor the lineup. With the bats looking for a spark, the pitching staff will be key in the playoffs.
