Jurickson Profar was signed by the Texas Rangers as an amateur free agent in 2009. Coming up through the minor leagues Profar was regarded as a highly talented prospect. Injuries kept Profar off the field for the entire 2014 season and he only played 32 minor league games in 2015. During 2016 Profar managed to stay healthy and play 90 games with the Rangers.
During those 90 games Profar hit .239/.321/.338 with 5 home runs and 20 RBI. Clearly not a “superstar” numbers, but the Rangers believe Profar can still develop. Only 23-years-old Profar played six different positions in 2016 and could be a future super utility type player.
