Sebastian Walcott's assignment to High-A at the beginning of the season - just three weeks after his 18th birthday - was the most aggressive assignment of any prospect last year. He had a .103 average and 17 strikeouts after his first 11 games, but from there, the tooled up Bahamian infielder slashed .286/.357/.488 with 12 home runs, 28 steals and a 23.8 percent strikeout rate in 110 games, including a five-game run at Double-A to close the campaign. An obvious raw physical tools comp for Walcott would be Elly De La Cruz, as they're both built like NBA shooting guards with monster raw power and speed. However, Walcott conquered High-A at 18 while De La Cruz was 20 when he mastered that level, so there aren't any restrictions on where Walcott's game could be in six months or a year. The most famous recent Bahamian prospect, Jazz Chisholm, also mastered High-A at the age of 20. The most likely outcome would probably be for Walcott to split 2025 between Double-A and Triple-A, setting up a 2026 bid for an Opening Day roster spot.

  • Rangers' Sebastian Walcott: Reassigned to minors camp

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

  • Rangers' Sebastian Walcott: Pops homer in return to action

    Walcott (arm) went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Thursday's Cactus League game against the Mariners. Walcott experienced soreness in his arm earlier in the week but recovered enough to enter Thursday's game as the designated hitter. He went on to tally his first Cactus League homer and is expected to be able to return to defensive work in the next few days.

  • Rangers' Sebastian Walcott: Earns spring training invite

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

  • Rangers' Sebastian Walcott: Aggressive assignment to High-A

    Walcott will begin the 2024 season with High-A Hickory, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports. While Walcott finished the 2023 season with four games at High-A, it's still surprising to see him assigned to that level less than a month after turning 18 years old, as he never played at Single-A and struck out a lot (32.5 K%) in the Arizona Complex League last season. Known for his extremely loud tools (plus-plus raw power, plus speed), the 6-foot-4 Walcott has superstar upside if he can keep the strikeouts in check, but that could prove difficult this season as the youngest player in the South Atlantic League.

  • Rangers' Sebastian Walcott: Gets call to High-A

    The Rangers promoted Walcott from the rookie-level Arizona Complex League to High-A Hickory on Sunday. At just 17 years and five months old, Walcott will become the youngest player in the South Atlantic League. Walcott received the green light to bypass an assignment to Single-A Down East after he slashed .273/.325/.524 with seven home runs and nine stolen bases across 157 plate appearances in the ACL.
