September is here, and with it comes pennant-chase baseball and prospect call-ups. Not many prospects are gifted with the opportunity to immediately step in and take on a prominent role with a team competing for the postseason, so we’ve highlighted one player with the best opportunity to do that: Joey Gallo of the Texas Rangers.
Gallo was already called up earlier this season and turned in a mostly mediocre performance. Regarded as one of the top prospects in all of baseball because of his otherworldly power, Gallo also features an otherworldly strikeout rate.
During his first tenure with the Rangers, Gallo mostly filled in for injured third baseman Adrian Beltre and injured left fielder Josh Hamilton.
