Walcott’s Power Surge and the Rangers’ Wait | MLB News

About this episode

Texas Rangers are eyeing offense—and young shortstop Sebastian Walcott, just 20 and back from elbow surgery, is crushing it in Double-A with power and newfound muscle. But despite his hot start and over a thousand minor league at-bats, the team’s holding him back, wisely prioritizing development over immediate impact. With limited MLB-ready options and recent history showing even top prospects struggle early, rushing Walcott could backfire—especially since he’s still restricted to DH duties. The smarter move? Let him keep building in Triple-A for long-term success.
