Graduates

Jack Leiter, RHP: Leiter came out of the gates strong in 2025 but came back to Earth in May and has settled into a role as a back-end starter who occasionally shows hints of dominance. 

Risers

Kohl Drake, LHP: One of the sneakier prospects in the system last season, Drake has ratcheted his game up a notch in 2025 and vaulted into the upper tiers of the system as a result. His stuff is up across the board, and his fastball has increased by roughly 3 mph in the early days of 2025.  

David Davalillo, RHP: The reigning minor league ERA champion is well on his way to repeating the feat through the first two months of the season. The 22-year-old righty has mixed, matched, sliced and diced his way through the South Atlantic League without a single dominant pitch but rather sublime control and command of his entire arsenal.  

Alejandro Osuna, OF: After a breakout 2024 campaign, Osuna showed well again at Double-A and then in a weeklong stretch at Triple-A before earning his first big league callup to see if he could help give Texas’ moribund outfield production a much-needed boost. 

Fallers

Emiliano Teodo, RHP: Teodo dealt with a shoulder impingement early in the season and has fought significant command and control issues at Triple-A Round Rock. He’s also pitched solely in relief this season, putting a further damper on his ceiling. 

Casey Cook, 2B/OF: Texas’ third-rounder from a year ago has struggled mightily at High-A Hub City and has fallen out of the Top 30 entirely.  

Yeremi Cabrera, OF: After a strong season in the Arizona Complex League, Cabrera has scuffled with Low-A Hickory in his first taste of full-season ball. 

Injuries

Kumar Rocker, RHP: The system’s top prospect entering the season was disastrous in the big leagues and wound up on the injured list with a right shoulder impingement. He returned from the rehab trail on June 4. 

Alejandro Rosario, RHP: Rosario had Tommy John surgery before the season and will miss all of the 2025 season and possibly a bit of the 2026 campaign.

Winston Santos, RHP: One of the Rangers’ breakout stars from a year ago, Santos suffered a back strain in the early days of the season and is likely out until August. 

Malcolm Moore, C: The Rangers’ first-round pick from a year ago broke a finger on his right hand and has been on the injured list since April 17. 

Paul Bonzagni, RHP: The righthander landed on the injured list on April 22 with right elbow inflammation. The team is looking for an August return to action for Bonzagni.  

New Additions

Mitch Bratt, LHP: Bratt opened the year as one of the youngest pitchers in the Texas League. Over the first two months of the season, he’s also been one of the circuit’s best. His arm is more on time throughout his delivery, which has resulted in crisper, more powerful stuff and better control and command throughout the zone. He’s also widened his repertoire to include five pitches.

Caden Scarborough, RHP: Scarborough mixes a lanky frame that produces tricky angles with an intriguing pitch package. He’s already added 30 pounds to his 6-foot-5 frame and has seen a jump in stuff in kind. Scarborough’s main weapons are his mid-90s four-seam fastball that plays up thanks to a lower release height and big-time extension, and a sweeper slider than he can land in the zone or bury for chases. He’s also working on a splitter to give himself a third option. 

Devin Fitz-Gerald, 2B: Fitz-Gerald’s calling card is his bat-to-ball skills, which he used to rack up 19 hits in his first 55 at-bats during ACL play. The switch-hitting Fitz-Gerald shows more power from the left side, and his overall power grade could one day reach average. The odds of reaching that level will increase if his sound swing decisions continue as he moves up the ladder. Fitz-Gerald is likely to move off of shortstop and settle in at either second or third base at the highest level, though the bulk of his value will come in the batter’s box.

Garrett Horn, LHP: Horn is a big, physical lefthander with a relief-only profile and a three-pitch mix geared toward bullying hitters in short bursts. His fastball sits in the mid 90s and peaked at 97 as an amateur. He backs it with a slurvy curveball that projects as a fringe-average pitch and a changeup that is in its nascent stages. He’s added some strength during his rehab process as well. He had a longer arm stroke as an amateur and was working on sharpening his control before suffering the torn ligament in his elbow.
