In 2017 Andy Ibanez was considered a top prospect within the Texas Rangers system. He had made it to AA as a 23-year-old infielder and was a hotter prospect than any corner infielder in the Royals system. He was getting on base and showing the ability to hit the ball and hit it hard. And then…he just began to fall off the prospect lists over the next two seasons.
Ibanez has now been passed on the Rangers prospects list over the last two years by younger, more versatile players like Eli White.
