The No. 2 player in our Rangers Prospect countdown is ‘pretty good for a 19-year-old’

At some point every MLB organization is accused of rushing a player through the farm systems to the major leagues.

Not every player is Mike Trout, Ronald Acuna Jr. or Juan Soto.

The Texas Rangers are no different. They like to push their best young players as their play merits, and they have.

Sometimes, players keep pace, like a 20-year-old Elvis Andrus did in 2009 when named the Rangers’ starting shortstop. Sometimes, players experience a hiccup along the way.

But that doesn’t mean they still aren’t talented or that their teams no longer hold them in high regard.
