This year we have 110 prospects who make the cut.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Sebastian Walcott is the highest ranked Ranger, at #30 \u2014 a little lower than where most other places have him, due to both the UCL injury that is costing him the bulk of the 2026 season and a few concerns that have arisen after his AA season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Yolfran Castillo and Caden Scarborough are #70 and #71 on the list, respectively. Scarborough has gotten a lot of run, so him being in the top 100 is no big surprise, but I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve seen anyone else as bullish on Castillo, a shortstop who just turned 19 a few days and and who was a 2024 international signee. Castillo split the 2025 season between the ACL and Hickory, playing shortstop and third base and slashing .258\/.315\/.352 while going 29 for 31 on the basepaths.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">A pair of righthanded starters on the 40 man roster round out the Rangers representation \u2014 David Davalillo, at #89, and Winston Santos, at #103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Fangraphs top 100 prospect list for 2026 is out, and the Texas Rangers have a surprisingly impressive&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":575785,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2393],"tags":[146,4763,5,46649,52826,4,26131,149,4073,13490,1567,69,3240,47483,70498],"class_list":["post-575784","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas-rangers","tag-arizona","tag-arizona-fall-league","tag-baseball","tag-david-davalillo","tag-glendale-desert-dogs","tag-mlb","tag-prospect-list","tag-rangers","tag-surprise","tag-surprise-stadium","tag-texas","tag-texas-rangers","tag-texasrangers","tag-top-100","tag-winston-santos"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116081205121676634","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/575784","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=575784"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/575784\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/575785"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=575784"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=575784"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=575784"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
