Rangers Secure Two Spots in Baseball America’s Top 100 List
The Texas Rangers recently celebrated two players making Baseball America’s prestigious Top 100 list. This achievement highlights the growing talent within the Rangers’ organization, particularly among their pitching prospects.
Rangers’ Top 100 Players
Two standout players gained recognition in the latest Baseball America Top 100 rankings. Sebastian Walcott, a highly regarded outfielder, secured the 16th spot on the list. Caden Scarborough, a promising right-handed pitcher, follows at 65.
Sebastian Walcott: A Rising Star
Sebastian Walcott was widely expected to make the Top 100. His placement at #16 confirms his status as a top prospect. He ranked between Bubba Chandler of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Payton Tolle of the Boston Red Sox.
Caden Scarborough’s Impressive Performance
Caden Scarborough, selected in the sixth round of the 2023 draft from Harmony High School, turned heads with his pitching. He received a notable signing bonus of $515,000. Although 2023 saw him limited to just 10 innings, his performance in 2025 was remarkable.
- 2025 Stats:
- 2.45 ERA over 88 innings
- 22 starts, primarily at low-A
- Three scoreless appearances at high-A towards the season end
Scarborough’s improvement was evident. In his last 12 appearances, he surrendered merely six earned runs, with no earned runs in his final five regular-season games. He recorded an impressive 114 strikeouts against 21 walks.
Prospects for the Future
Caden Scarborough turns 21 in April. He is expected to start the season in high-A. If he continues to excel as per his Baseball America ranking, a promotion to Frisco during the second half of the season is likely. His fastball has drawn a 70 rating, indicating his potential to excel at higher levels.
The recognition of both Walcott and Scarborough exemplifies the Texas Rangers’ commitment to developing strong talent within their ranks. As they progress, fans and analysts alike will be watching their careers with keen interest.
