The legend of Jurickson Profar started when he was just 11 years old when he helped the Little League team from Willemstad, Curaçao win the 2004 Little League World Series. That same team went back in 2005, with Profar on the mound for the championship game, lost to the team from Hawaii.
At age 16, the Rangers signed him to a player development contract, working him out as a middle infielder. He would come up through the Rangers minor league system quickly before playing against competition that was typically three to four years older than him. In 2011 he was featured in the Futures All-Star game and was ranked the 12th best prospect in baseball.
