Baseball America has released their latest updated top 100 prospect list, and the Texas Rangers have a better showing that I would have expected.
First and foremost, there is a new highest ranked Ranger prospect — righthanded pitcher Kumar Rocker, who is all the way up at #30 on the BA list, between Reds pitching prospect Chase Burns and Cardinals pitching prospect Tink Hence. I expected Rocker might crack the top 100, based on how electric he’s been since his return from Tommy John surgery, but I didn’t expect him to be ranked this high.
