2022 in review: Kohei Arihara
With the 2022 regular season almost over, it is that time for us to go back and take a look at the players who appeared for the Texas Rangers this season.

One of the thing that a rebuilding club — particularly a rebuilding club that is at the nadir of its rebuilding process and is prepared to lose a lot of games — can do is take chances on players that may otherwise be overlooked, and give them regular playing time. Every once in a while, the team uncovers a hidden gem, or at least a hidden semi-valuable stone, getting a player who ends up being an unexpected contributor. Most of the time, though, there was a reason the player was overlooked.
