Baseball America Texas Rangers top 10 prospect list is out

Baseball America’s top 10 prospect list for the Texas Rangers is out, and you will be happy to know that the Rangers are gettin’ sum pitchin’ up in here, as the #1 prospect in the organization is a pitcher — righthander Hans Crouse.

Its an interesting list, with BA being higher than most on Anderson Tejeda and 2018 fourth rounder Mason Englert, while continuing to be lower than would be expected on 2017 first round pick Bubba Thompson, whose solid campaign with Hickory this year didn’t seem to alleviate some of the concerns surrounding him.

Notable omissions include 2016 first rounder Cole Ragans, who missed all of 2018 due to Tommy John surgery, and righthanded pitcher Tyler Phillips, who dominated the South Atlantic League and put himself on the prospect map this year, but not enough to crack the BA top 10.
