2019 Texas Rangers grades: Pitchers, Part IX

Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty ImagesWith the 2019 Texas Rangers season now over, I’m going to do a series of posts handing out grades to every player who appeared for the Rangers this year. I’m starting with pitchers, will go in alphabetical order, and then will do position players in alphabetical order.

Grades will be based on a combination of performance, expectations, and my own whims at the moment I happen to be typing this up. They aren’t to be taken too seriously.

Here is Part I, and Part II, and Part III, from the week before. Here is Part IV and Part V and Part VI from last week. Here is Part VII from earlier this week and Part VIII from yesterday.

And today, Part IX...
