Rangers Shut Down Top Prospect Sebastian Walcott Due to Arm Fatigue
– 1 min read
The Texas Rangers have shut down top prospect Sebastian Walcott due to arm fatigue. Walcott was assigned to the Surprise Saguaros in the Arizona Fall League, but played in only one game before being sidelined. Reports indicate the plan is for him to rest, with the team set to reevaluate his condition in the coming days.
The Rangers saw no point in Walcott serving solely as a designated hitter given his workload at the plate in Double-A.
Walcott spent the entire season in Double-A Frisco where he appeared in 124 games and logged 552 plate appearances. He finished with a slash line of .255/.355/.386/.741, recording 13 home runs, 59 RBIs and 32 stolen bases.
Following the news, Walcott posted a message on X, citing the Bible verse Proverbs 3:5-6:
