Baseball America has updated their top 100 prospect list, and the Texas Rangers have gone from having no prospects on the list to having one prospect on the list, with third baseman Josh Jung checking in at #99.
Jung, the Rangers’ first round draft pick out of Texas Tech last year, represented a shift in philosophy for the Rangers, who eschewed their traditional approach, which prioritized toolsy high school players, in favor of focusing on college players with proven contact ability and good exit velocity numbers. That led to Jung and Davis Wendzel of Baylor being the top two picks of the Rangers in 2019, and Justin Foscue being the team’s top pick in 2020.
