Texas Rangers prospects: Fangraphs’ top prospect list has been updated, and center fielder Bubba Thompson has moved up in the rankings, checking in at #93 on their list. Fangraphs ranks all the prospects who have at least a 50 Future Value grade, and thus the ranking isn’t a top 100, but includes everyone who reaches that tier — currently, there are 131 prospects who are officially ranked.
Thompson, who turned 20 in June, was the Rangers’ first round pick in the 2017 draft, and as a former football quarterback who had never played baseball full-time prior to being drafted, he was perceived as being a raw project.
