Juremi Profar

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Texas Rangers #28 prospect in 2017
  When Profar signed with the Rangers for $150,000 in September 2012, it appeared a token signing from the organization that knew him since he was 12. At the time Juremi signed, older brother Jurickson was 19 years old and already in the majors. While Juremi was known mostly as Jurickson's younger brother his first few years in the system, he made his own name with a strong offensive campaign at high Class A High Desert in 2016. None of Profar's tools grade out better than average, but he has outstanding game awareness and a knack for squaring up the ball. He controls the strike zone with good plate discipline and plate coverage, resulting just an 11 percent strikeout rate in 2016. The power spike he showed was mostly a product of High Desert, but he can be a 10-15 home run hitter. Profar is an offensive-oriented player who mostly split time at third base and first base, with sporadic time at second base. He doesn't run well, but he has good hands and an average arm. Profar doesn't have a true position, but his bat has a chance to carry him to the majors, with Double-A Frisco his next step.
