The Texas Rangers could have the best rotation in baseball come 2023. With the signing of Jack Leiter in the draft earlier this week, there is a good chance. The Rangers are developing some premiere pitching at the moment. “The Rangers can’t develop pitching” seems to no longer be a valid argument. The club just had a pitcher start the futures game for the American League.
The Potential:
This could be the starting rotation for the Texas Rangers to open up 2023:
Jack Leiter
Free Agent signing of Hans Crouse or Mason Englert or other
The first four could be one heck of a rotation. The Rangers should be in a position to spend money and get a premier free agent pitcher to go along with the home grown talent. Could it be Kyle Gibson? I have my doubts. The list is endless on who it could be. The question is will all of the players named work out? Probably not, but they are close now. Winn has been amazing, Latz has been really good, and Allard has held his own at the major league level. The potential for greatness is there in all of these players.
It will be interesting to go back and read this article in 2023 and see if I was right or wrong. I have faith that the Rangers can be formidable again. IF the development continues in the correct direction, it could be 2023 when that happens. We will just have to wait and see, but for now, Rangers fans have something to look forward too!
