MESA, Ariz — There was a time when Jurickson Profar was regarded as the top prospect.
No, not the top prospect in the Texas Rangers organization. Not the top prospect in one specific minor league level. Profar was considered the No. 1 prospect in all of baseball.
It’s taken a while for that massive hype to translate to the big leagues. Injuries have cut his seasons short over the past few years and affected his overall performance. But Profar finally started to show flashes last season with the Rangers when he hit .254 with 20 home runs, 35 doubles, six triples, and 77 RBIs while also swiping 10 bases.
