LHP Mitch Bratt, has been promoted to the Double-A Frisco RoughRiders.
I saw him in Frisco yesterday, which signals his advancement within the organization.
Bratt, is the top-ranked left-handed pitcher in the Rangers’ farm system and No. 20 overall according to MLB Pipeline.
Drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 5th round of the 2021 MLB Draft, Bratt has consistently impressed on the mound.
Bratt’s promotion to Frisco is deserved
This season in High-A Hickory, Bratt has pitched to a 6-4 win-loss record with an excellent 3.03 earned run average. He has struckout 84 batters in 77.1 innings while he issued only 16 walks.
Excellent career stats
Over his three seasons in the minors, he has compiled a 13-12 record with a stellar 2.96 ERA across 219 innings pitched.
He has issued just 61 walks while striking out 256 batters.
Bratt played for team Canada in the WBC
Bratt was only 19 years old when he played for team Canada in the World Baseball Classic in 2023.
In his last start for Hickory he pitched 5.2 innings giving up three hits, 1 walk and striking out 7.
That performance earned him Player of the Homestand honors.
Bratt’s promotion to Frisco marks a significant milestone in his development, as he faces more advanced competition in Double-A.
Rangers fans and analysts alike will closely watch Bratt’s progression. His ability to maintain a sub-3.00 ERA over multiple seasons showcases his consistency and potential.
As Mitch Bratt takes the next step in his development, we will continue to keep an eye on his progress and keep you updated.
Other note
Emiliano Teodo had been scratched from his original start Saturday. There is speculation that he has been promoted to Triple-A Round Rock or being skipped to help with his inning count.
