Last season saw the Texas Rangers push a flurry of young pitchers through the minors and on to Arlington as the club began evaluating their prospect capital in a non-playoff season. The club has been gearing up for the 2020 season and beyond for a few years with a focus on prospect development at focal point within the organization.
In 2019, we saw Joe Palumbo and Taylor Hearn make their debuts as well as newly acquired lefties Kolby Allard and Brock Burke. Those four all profile as starters but the Rangers relief prospects made appearances too with Pete Fairbanks and Emmanuel Clase skyrocketing through the system.
