Leody Taveras was the Texas Rangers’ big international signing during the 2015 free agent period. Accordingly, he’s developed into one of the most anticipated prospects in the Texas system. Taveras, 20, is set to repeat High-A ball to start 2019. How long before he hits the bigs?
He never really came into his own with the Down East Wood Ducks last year, causing some to lose a little hope in him. But there is no doubt the worldly potential is still there, and a swift comeback season is expected. MLB.com has Taveras ranked as the Rangers’ #6 prospect heading into the season, which is a downgrade from being in the top two on almost every list last season.
