Coming in at #19 on the Texas Rangers’ list of top 25 prospects is outfielder Pedro Gonzalez. Gonzalez was drafted at the age of 16 out of the Dominican Republic. The Colorado Rockies drafted him, but sent him to the Rangers as part of the Jonathan Lucroy acquisition in 2017.
Gonzalez began his professional career as a shortstop, though, like most teenagers, he experienced a growth spurt. Now standing at 6’5”, 190 LBs, the 21-year-old has been re-positioned to center field. As he continues to bulk up, there is a good chance he’ll be designated to a corner outfield position by the time he makes his MLB debut.
