According to a reputable publication, the Texas Rangers have three undervalued prospects

Baseball America uses RoboScout to determine the true value of a prospect. This includes surface play statistics, underlying data, MLB peak performance projections, defensive position, skills and composition.

Based on these numbers, the publication compiled a list of nine players they believe are undervalued relative to their MLB potential. They selected a player at each position.

The Texas Rangers selected three of the nine players, two of whom play in the Arizona Fall League.

One of them is outfielder Alejandro Osuna. He is not listed in the rankings Baseball America’s He’s in the organizational top 30, but MLB Pipeline has him at No. 16.

Osuna had his best professional season, starting at High-A Hickory before moving to Double-A Frisco. He finished with a .292/.362/.507/.869 slash line and a career-high 18 home runs and 61 RBI combined between teams. He also had 17 steals. MLB.com compared his player profile to New York Yankees outfielder Alex Verdugo.

RoboScout rated him as an above-average defender, especially in midfield. And he was undervalued compared to his intriguing MLB profile, which “…views Osuna as an above-average major league hitter at the top, with 20-25 home run power and double-digit steals, all while maintaining solid outfield defense.”

Another outfielder is Pablo Guerrero, the younger brother of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the son of Hall of Famer and former Rangers designated hitter Vladimir Guerrero Sr., who signed as an international free agent last year. He turned 18 in July and made his U.S. debut this year, finishing the year with Class A Down East.

He posted a .276/.334/.442/.776 slash line with eight home runs and 53 RBI. Although there are concerns about his chase rate, he is still refining his approach to the opponent. RoboScout projects him as “…an above-average major league hitter at his peak, capable of hitting around 25 home runs a season.”

Shortstop Max Acosta, who plays with Osuna in the AFL, made the list. He is a Rule 5-eligible player this offseason, meaning the Rangers may need to add him to their 40-man roster to protect him.

The 21-year-old spent 2024 in Frisco, hitting .288/.353/.425/.778 with eight home runs and 58 RBI. His path to the majors currently appears to be blocked by infielders Corey Seager and Marcus Semien.

RoboScout’s data shows that Acosta has reduced his strikeout rate and chase rate and is almost rated as a plus defender.

He is considered “an above-average major league hitter with 15-18 home runs and 15-20 stolen bases and a batting average between .260 and .280.”
