Jacob Latz: The Rangers' Secret Weapon in a pivotal stretch
There are few players on the Rangers that have been better than Latz and he has been the best part of the bullpen. He has been versatile occupying a number of roles including being the long man in the bullpen, being an opener, and even being a starter. Latz was a bit of an afterthought coming into the year, but now he is anything but that. He has been great all year and I'm sure there is one game that sticks out to fans. On June 24, he was set to be an opener, go a few innings and then turn it
Factors that fueled the Rangers' hot streak
The Rangers seem to have found their groove as they have won seven of their last eight games and the last three series. They have played the Nationals, Twins, and White Sox in this stretch, while they are not the best teams in the world it is still improvement. The pitching continues to dominant Over these games, the pitchers have allowed 21 runs. They have been terrific from the starters to the bullpen, the worst start has come from Jack Leiter allowing four runs in four innings. Most of t
Leody Taveras claimed by the Seattle Mariners
The Seattle Mariners have picked up Leody Taveras off waivers. He will add to the outfield depth as the Mariners have Victor Robles and Luke Raley on the injured list. Taveras hit .241 with a .601 OPS along with one home run and eight RBIs. He was not doing well this year along with the rest of the Rangers lineup. He was out of minor league options, so he couldn't be sent down to Triple A. The Mariners will pick up the rest of his salary, which will be around 3 million dollars of his deal. So
When will Evan Carter return?
It seems like Evan Carter could be back in Arlington as soon as today. Carter has spent his season in Triple A with the Round Rock Express as he has tried to get comfortable with his back condition, which cost him most of last year. Carter struggled in Spring Training and in the beginning of the minor league season. Up to April 13, Carter's batting average sat at just .138. However, that is when he picked it. His batting average has picked up to .221, in this span he is batting .270 (13-48). H
Texas Rangers fire Offensive Coordinator Donnie Ecker
The Texas Rangers made the decision to fire Offensive Coordinator Donnie Ecker. He has been with the team since 2021 and was a big part of their World Series run. This comes to due their inability to hit as many of the Rangers top hitters have failed to meet expectations. This struggles go back to last year as the Rangers unperformed and the bats couldn't get going. The team ranks 25th in batting average with .228, they are in 27th in OPS with .643, they are 29th in runs scored with 113, and th
When to expect Sebastian Walcott's MLB Debut
The Rangers might have another superstar on their hands. Sebastian Walcott is the most hyped up prospect since... Wyatt Langford. While yes, it hasn't been a long time since a mega prospect burst onto the scene, Walcott has something that sets him apart from Langford. The fact that is he only 18 years old. Walcott will turn 19 before the minor league season starts, but what he has done so far is unbelievable. When the Rangers signed him in 2023 for $3.2 million, there were scouts saying that h
The Texas Rangers' Potential 2025 Lineup
In this article I am going to break down what I think that the Texas Rangers' lineup is going to look like. 1. 2B Marcus Semien There doesn't need to be much of an explanation for why Semien should be leading off. He did have a bit of a down year as he slashed .237/.308/.391. He hit 23 home runs with 74 rbis posting a 4.1 WAR. He was still one of the bright spots for the team last year, he does a good job at getting on base and can take pitchers deep into the count. Alternatively, he can also
Year Review: Kumar Rocker
Kumar Rocker had a special year for the Texas Rangers. He spent half of the year recovering from Tommy John Surgery, when he did return it was incredible. ACL Rangers Rocker threw two innings in first start back. He allowed two hits with a single run coming on a home run and three strikeouts with no walks. This was an encouraging sign for the Rangers that he was even able to throw before the year had ended. He followed this up with two more starts in the Arizona Complex League. Rocker went f
Year Review: Jack Leiter
Jack Leiter had a interesting year for the Rangers. If you ask people what they thought of his performance, you will probably get mix answers. So I will look back through Leiter's year and go through his performances, both in the major and minor leagues. I will come to my answer at the end of the article. March Leiter made his first start of the year on March 30 against the Sugar Land Space Cowboys. (Houston Astros' Triple A Team) He came out of the gate sharp as he went five innings allowin
Kumar Rocker gets called up to Major League team
The time has finally come! The Rangers top pitching prospect Kumar Rocker has been called up to the Rangers. This move caught Rangers fans off guard as manager Bruce Bochy had said that it was unlikely that Kumar Rocker would be joining the team before the season ended. However, it seemed that Rocker forced their hand. He has pitched incredible since being called up to Triple A. In his two starts, he has pitched 10 innings allowing 4 hits, 2 runs, 1 walk and 18 strikeouts. In those 2 starts h
