Forbes was ranked as the 21st prospect in the Rangers’ system by MLB Prospect Watch in 2015. Forbes joins our top 25 because of his age and scouted potential. Drafted straight out of high school, Forbes struggled in 2015 to adjust to the speed of pro ball hitting .263 in Single-A (short season) with 54 strikeouts. However, making the jump from high school straight to the minors increases the difficulty of the transition. Forbes is a tall, lean player with a quick bat according to scouts. The young prospect played third most of his time in his first full season but has shown the speed and arm strength to play shortstop.
