Texas Rangers infield prospect
Sebastian Walcott is enjoying an impressive start to the Double-A regular season. Over his previous eight contests, Walcott has tallied at least one hit in each game. During this impressive stretch, Walcott has held a .333/.486/.593 slash line with four doubles and one home run. He has held a strong 6:9 K:BB with one stolen base. Before this recent surge, Walcott held a modest .192/.276/.269 line over the first six games of the campaign. Last summer, Walcott spent most of the campaign with High-A Hickory before earning a brief taste of Double-A. At High-A, Walcott posted a stellar .261/.342/.443 line as an 18-year-old. The infielder is currently considered the No. 16-best prospect in the sport on MLB.com. He is a name to closely monitor as he should compete for his MLB debut in 2026.

Texas Rangers shortstop prospect
Sebastian Walcott has been assigned to the minor-league camp. Walcott is considered not only the top prospect in the Texas system but one of the best in the sport. Through his brief taste of spring training, he went 4-for-8 at the plate with a home run and three doubles. The 18-year-old spent most of the 2024 campaign with High-A. Through 116 contests, the infielder held a .261/.342/.443 slash line with 31 doubles, 10 home runs, and 26 stolen bases. During his brief five-game look of Double-A, Walcott tallied eight hits (four extra-base hits) with one stolen base. Given his strong finish last season, Walcott should have a good opportunity to open the 2025 campaign at Double-A. If he carries this strong play into the start of the new season, he could make his Triple-A debut later this summer.

Texas Rangers shortstop prospect
Sebastian Walcott (arm) went 1-for-2 with a solo shot in his return on Thursday. Walcott battled arm soreness throughout the week but moved past this injury quite quickly as he launched his first long ball of the spring. Later in the contest, Walcott tallied his second RBI on a groundout. The top prospect in the Texas system was invited to spring training as a non-roster invite. Walcott spent most of last season with High-A Hickory before earning a brief taste of the Double-A. Across 105 contests with High-A, the infielder posted a .261/.342/.443 slash line with 31 doubles, 10 home runs, and 26 stolen bases. He held a 52:125 BB:K ratio. Through his first five games at Double-A, Walcott tallied eight hits (four extra-base hits) with one stolen base. If he continues to produce during camp, Walcott could make a push to reach Triple-A later in the 2025 campaign.

Across this short stint, the infielder tallied eight hits, including three doubles and a home run. Walcott is currently ranked as the top prospect in the Rangers system and the No.23 overall on MLB Pipeline. Dynasty managers should continue to keep a close eye on his progression as he is developing into one of the top prospects in the sport. He should be expected to open the season with Double-A Frisco.
