Baseball America’s prospect rankings for the top lefthanded pitchers in the minor leagues is out, and two Texas Rangers prospects made the cut. Taylor Hearn, the lefty acquired from the Pittsburgh Pirates, along with Sherten Apostel, in the Keone Kela deal is #17 on the list, right behind Joey Wentz and 2018 first rounder Ryan Weathers. Joe Palumbo, meanwhile, is #3 on the list, right behind Braves lefty Kolby Allard.
Kyle Glaser also has Taylor Hearn as his pick on the list to break out, praising his bit time fastball and improving secondaries.
