Despite trading away Luisangel Acuña to the Mets for Max Scherzer, the Texas Rangers still have a strong farm system which is shown with not one, not two, but four prospects in the MLB Pipeline’s updated top 100 rankings.
Let’s go over each of the four Texas Rangers prospects that rank in the top 100 in all of baseball.
8. **Evan Carter**
Evan Carter has emerged as a true force to be reckoned with, boasting a batting average of .280 and a jaw-dropping .859 OPS. With an incredible 13 home runs and 58 RBIs, Carter’s prowess at the plate is sending shockwaves through the league. His ability to deliver clutch hits and drive in runs has made him an integral part of the Rangers’ future.
13. **Wyatt Langford**
Wyatt Langford’s journey through the ranks has been nothing short of spectacular. From his explosive performance in the ACL Rangers to his promotion to High-A Hickory, Langford’s batting prowess has remained unparalleled. Sporting an astonishing .400 batting average and an otherworldly 1.345 OPS, Langford’s power-packed displays and remarkable plate discipline have set him on a trajectory for greatness.
67. **Sebastian Walcott: A Meteoric Rise**
At just 17 years of age, Sebastian Walcott has taken the baseball world by storm. Rising swiftly through the prospect rankings, Walcott’s meteoric ascent is a testament to his raw talent. Through 30 games in the ACL, he boasts a .289 batting average and an impressive .902 OPS, accompanied by 7 home runs and 18 RBIs. The sky’s the limit for this prodigious young talent.
98. **Brock Porter: the Flame Thrower**
Brock Porter’s pitching prowess is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Armed with a blazing fastball, Porter has left batters bewildered and mesmerized. Despite his young age and limited innings, his 2.41 earned run average and 74 strikeouts reflect an unparalleled level of dominance. The Texas Rangers’ low A team, the Down East Wood Ducks has provided the perfect platform for Porter to showcase his explosive talent.
The Texas Rangers seem to be on the right path with their development of prospects, especially position players. Evan Carter, Wyatt Langford, Sebastian Walcott, and Brock Porter seem to be a big part of the Rangers future. Hopefully, it’s only a matter of time before they etch their names in Texas Rangers baseball history.
