With the 186th pick in the 2014 Amateur Draft, the Texas Rangers selected 21-year-old third baseman Jose Trevino out of Oral Roberts University. Despite splitting time at second base, third base, and catcher in rookie ball, he transitioned to full-time catcher in 2015 and hasn’t looked back. He showed some potential on both sides of the plate in A-ball, but struggled mightily to hit in both Double-A and Triple-A. He did, however, become known for his defensive prowess during this time, leading to his major league debut in 2018. Unfortunately he appeared in just three games before undergoing a shoulder surgery that prematurely ended his season.
