2016 Texas Rangers Draft: Alex Speas, 2nd round pick

The Texas Rangers have taken Georgia high school pitcher Alex Speas with their second round pick

2016 Texas Rangers Draft: Alex Speas, a righthanded pitcher out of McEachern High School in Powder Springs, Georgia, is the Rangers' second round draft pick in the 2016 draft.

Alex Speas is listed at 6'4", 190 lbs., and throws hard (he reportedly has touched 95 mph) but is very raw. He's described as athletic and projectable, like most high school pitchers the Rangers take high in the draft, and while their first rounder is a polished lefty, Speas is a guy with a long way to go, but a ton of upside.
