10 Rangers Prospects To Know Beyond The Top 30 in 2025

Baseball America’s Top 30 Texas Rangers Prospects entering 2025 are here exclusively for subscribers. The list includes updated scouting reports, BA grades and tool grade projections every player.

Inevitably, there are players every year who barely miss the cut when we narrow down the list. These players are all worth monitoring for various reasons and it’s likely some will either reach the big leagues in 2025 or enjoy breakout seasons lower in the minors.

Here are next 10 players to know in the Rangers system beyond their Top 30. You can find the complete index of players who just missed their teams’ respective lists here.

31. Pablo Guerrero, OF. Guerrero is the son of Hall of Fame outfielder Vladimir Guerrero and the brother of Blue Jays superstar Vladimir Guerrero. Pablo signed with Texas in 2023 and bopped seven home runs in the Arizona Complex League in his first season stateside. The Rangers report marked improvement stemming from Guerrero’s work at their offseason camps, and he could be primed for a big season in 2025. 

32. Curley Martha, SS. Martha was part of a Curacao team that reached the championship game of the 2019 Little League World Series. He signed with the Rangers in 2024 and put forth a solid pro debut in the Dominican Summer League. He’s a heady player with a bag of average tools across the board with the upside for more depending on the way his body develops as he matures. 

33. Anthony Gutierrez, OF. Two seasons ago, Gutierrez was one of the highest-upside prospects in Texas’ system. Since then, his seasons have been marked by underperformance and injuries. In 2024, he played through a shoulder injury that eventually required surgery. If a clean bill of health frees him up, Gutierrez could begin to turn his tools into skills. 

34 Devin Fitz-Gerald, SS. Fitz-Gerald has the kind of polish one would expect from a player who is the son of one of the country’s most respected high school coaches. He’s a baseball rat who makes a ton of contact and the potential for average raw power if he can pack some more strength onto his frame. Nothing in Fitz-Gerald’s skill set is plus, but nothing should be below-average, either. 

35. Walter Pennington, LHP. Pennington made his big league debut with the Royals before being dealt to Texas. He’s a slider-heavy reliever who works with two-seam and cut fastballs and should get plenty of play in the big leagues in 2025, especially if he can throw more strikes. 

36. Mitch Bratt, LHP. Bratt opened the year as one of the youngest pitchers in the South Atlantic League and performed well enough to earn his first bump to the upper levels. Nothing in the lefthander’s mix is overpowering and his overall repertoire proved ineffective in the hitter-happy Texas League. Nothing Bratt throws grades out as plus, but he still has time to add strength and bring something forward enough to qualify as an out pitch. 

37. Bryan Magdaleno, LHP. Magdaleno was left unprotected but was not picked in this year’s Rule 5 draft. He was attractive because of a mid-90s fastball and a sweepy slider. Magdaleno could stand to throw more strikes, but Magdaleno allowed just 19 hits in 42.2 innings and struck out 68 along the way. He has just 12 innings above Low-A, so the 2025 campaign should be his biggest test yet. 

38. Skylar Hales, RHP. There’s no doubt that Hales has the fastball to be an effective big league reliever. To take the next step, he’ll need to improve his slider, which scouts peg as a fringe-average pitch. His control in the minor leagues has been solid but evaluators would like to see higher-quality strikes. 

39. Brock Porter, RHP. As an amateur, Porter was one of the highest-upside prep arms in the 2022 draft. The Rangers paid him big money in the fourth round and watched him post a solid season in 2023. A year later, however, the quality of his stuff dipped and he couldn’t find the strike zone. He was sent back to the team’s spring training complex in Arizona but never made enough progress there to return to full-season ball. The 2025 season will be huge for his future. 

40. Cole Winn, RHP. Winn’s career has been filled with peaks and valleys. A line drive back through the box a couple of years ago threw his mechanics off-kilter and he never showed the same promise as in the early portion of his career. His pure stuff is fine—and he reached the big leagues in 2024—but he needs to throw his mix with far more conviction.
