Texas Rangers: Recapping Austin Bibens-Dirkx’s 2017
Austin Bibens-Dirkx’s 2017 was quite a surprise. The Texas Rangers are not only surprised with what Bibens-Dirkx did, but they’re amazed, as well. For so long, Bibens-Dirkx has waited for his chance to play ball in the majors, the Rangers gave it to him, and he made the most of it.
Bibens-Dirkx has been pitching for over ten years. He’s played minor-league baseball for five different baseball organizations but was never given a chance to play on their main roster. The Texas Rangers signed him to a minor league contract and assigned him to AAA Round Rock.
