Youngest player at Double-A Walcott is slashing .245/.363/.372 with two home runs, six steals, a 14.2 percent walk rate and a 21.2 percent strikeout rate in 25 games for Double-A Frisco.

Impact Walcott, who turned 19 in March, is the youngest player at Double-A by seven months, and he's two years younger than the youngest pitcher at the level. He has plus-plus raw power, but Walcott has been making too much weak contact early on (34.5 IFFB%, 31.7 Soft%) as he gets adjusted to this challenging step up in competition. Walcott has yet to play a position in the field other than shortstop in 2025.

Reassigned to minors camp The Rangers reassigned Walcott to minor-league camp Monday.

Impact Walcott was one of a host of roster cuts for the Rangers. Slated to turn 19 later this month, Walcott made a great impression at the plate this spring during his few opportunities, going 4-for-8 with three doubles and a home run. He's one of the top prospects in all of baseball and is likely headed back to Double-A Frisco to begin the 2025 campaign.

Impact Bochy indicated that the injury isn't serious and the team is just being cautious with its top prospect. Walcott, who doesn't turn 19 in March, is in camp as a non-roster invitee and is projected to begin the 2025 campaign at Double-A Frisco.

Earns spring training invite The Rangers have extended Walcott an invitation to big-league camp during spring training.

Impact Walcott won't turn 19 until March, but the Rangers will let their top prospect get his feet wet in spring training after he slashed .265/.344/.452 with 11 home runs and 27 stolen bases between High-A Hickory and Double-A Frisco in 2024. Walcott is likely headed back to Frisco to begin the 2025 campaign.

Promoted to Double-A Walcott was promoted to Double-A Frisco on Sunday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Walcott will take a step up after producing a .261 average with 10 home runs, 49 RBI, 60 runs scored and 26 stolen bases over 116 games with High-A Hickory this season. The 18-year-old is moving up the ranks quickly after signing with the Rangers' organization in January of 2023.

Mastering tough assignment Walcott is slashing .307/.355/.519 with eight home runs, 19 steals and a 24.6 percent strikeout rate in his last 72 games for High-A Hickory.

Impact Walcott received arguably the most aggressive opening assignment of the year for a top prospect, heading to High-A just two weeks after his 18th birthday without ever playing at Single-A. He is the best prospect ever from the Bahamas and a potential first-rounder in fantasy if he approaches his ceiling. He's 6-foot-4, 190 pounds, so there's a chance he'll steadily grow into immense power to go with his plus-plus speed.
