US EditionGrading the last 10 Rangers drafts: The highs of 2020, the lows of 2015 and all in between
DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, JUL 8 – The Texas Rangers’ decade of drafts includes All-Stars and World Series champions but also costly busts, with 60% of the 2019 class contributing to the 2023 championship, analysts said.
- The Texas Rangers' last decade of draft classes have produced mixed results, including All-Stars and World Series champions, with the 2025 MLB draft scheduled for Sunday in Atlanta.
- This mixture stems from spending over $8 million on top picks some of whom became major league contributors while others turned into costly busts.
- Notably, the 2020 draft class earned an A grade as 60% of its members, including Evan Carter and Jack Leiter, have reached the majors and helped win a championship.
- While Carter emerged as a top prospect and key contributor, some selections like Dylan MacLean were disappointments, reflecting the draft's inherent uncertainty.
- The Rangers will continue prioritizing high first-round picks to add premier talent, with recent progress suggesting the 2025 draft could impact future success depending on player development.
