BA with praise for Josh Jung

Baseball America has a piece up today that highlights 19 players who impressed scouts during this fall’s Instructional League play. That list includes Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung, who was described as “a plus hitter with plus power.” Matt Eddy with Baseball America tweeted that Jung was one of four players who he “would be looking to buy low” for dynasty fantasy league players.

Jung, who the Rangers took with the 8th overall pick out of Texas Tech in the 2019 draft, was a somewhat controversial pick, being seen as something of a reach at that spot (he was generally ranked in the teens on most publications pre-draft boards), as well as being viewed by some as a relatively low-ceiling pick.
