[seestyle]

ARLINGTON, Texas Call it a ble sing or a curse, but the Texas Rangers have the No. 2 overall pick in this summer’s MLB Draft. The Rangers had the second-worst record in baseball last season, which forced management to fully commit to a rebuild before the first official season at Globe Life Field, their brand new $1.2 billion ballpark, had concluded.The Rangers don’t get a lot of love for the current state of their farm system. Ahead of this season, MLB.com ranked the Rangers 21st of 30 clubs while Baseball America has Texas ranked 24th. While the Rangers are praised with having a lot of quality depth on the farm, the two biggest knocks are the lack of high-impact talent and the pitching staff’s struggles with arm injuries.In turn, Sunday comes with a lot of hype as fans wait on pins and needles to see who the Rangers will select with the highest pick the franchise has had since 1974. It’s a chance for the franchise to add high-impact talent with two selections in the first 38 picks of the draft, while they can continue to fill out an already deep system with the second pick in each round.Truth Kawhi Leonard Jersey be told, next week is a very crucial week for the Rangers. There is a lot of pre sure, especially at No. 2 overall, to get this right.Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the draft next week.Sunday, July 11 @ 6:00 p.m. CT: Round 1, Competitive Balance Round AMonday, July 12 @ 12:00 p.m. CT: Rounds 2-10, Competitive Balance Round BTuesday, July 13 @ 11:00 a.m. CT: Rounds 11-20The MLB Draft is typically in June, but was moved this year to be part of All-Star week festivities.READ MORE:Sunday TV Broadcast: MLB Network, ESPNMonday & Tuesday Live Stream: MLB.comLocation: Bellco Theatre in Denver, ColoradoThe All-Star Game and MLB Draft was originally supposed to be in Atlanta, but Major League Baseball after Georgia pa sed voting legislation that the league viewed as restrictive.Of course, nobody knows who the Rangers will select with the No. 2 pick in the draft. There are a handful of players the Rangers have been tied to in one way or another, and they’ll have a shot at any player on the board with the exception of whoever the Pittsburgh Pirates select at No. 1.Here are just a few of the names you could see the Rangers take on Sunday night (all grades are Patrick Beverley Jersey from ):Marcelo Mayer, SS, Eastlake HS, Chula Vista, Calif.Height: 6-3 | Weight: 185 | Bat/Throw: L/RHit: 65 | Power: 55 | Run: 40 | Field: 60 | Arm: 60 | Overall: 65Commit/Drafted: Southern CaliforniaMock DraftsMLB.com: Pirates (No. 1)Baseball America: Pirates (No. 1)While there is no true consensus No. 1 pick this year, Mayer seems to be the favorite to go first overall to the Pirates. He has a high hit tool with respectable power, and is viewed as potentially the best defensive shortstop in a deep cla s.If the Pirates go in another direction and Mayer is available, the Rangers would have to strongly consider drafting this potential five-tool star.Jordan Lawlar, SS, Dallas Jesuit HSHeight: 6-2 | Weight: 185 | Bat Wesley Johnson Jersey /Throw: R/RHit: 60 | Power: 55 | Run: 60 | Field: 60 | Arm: 55 | Overall: 65Commit/Drafted: VanderbiltMock DraftsMLB.com: Diamondbacks (No. 6)Baseball America: Rangers (No. 2)The No. 1 prospect in has been tied to the Rangersmore than any of the position players on the board, which makes sense since he’s right in their backyard. But there is also a lot of reasons to like Lawlar. He has plus-tools acro s the board, and is looked at as a mature and intelligent player for his age.If the Rangers drafted him, they could be drafting a regular All-Star if he hits his potential. His floor still seems to be a regular player in the big leagues with defensive value. But at No. 2 overall, the Rangers are under pre Paul George Jersey sure to draft a player who can hit their ceiling.Jack Leiter, RHP, VanderbiltHeight: 6-1 | Weight: 205 | Bat/Throw: R/RFastball: 70 | Curveball: 60 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 55 | Control: 50 | Overall: 60Commit/Drafted: Yankees, 2019 (20th round)Mock DraftsMLB.com: Rangers (No. 2)Baseball America: Red Sox (No. 4)Scroll to ContinueIf the fans were the ones making this pick for Jon Daniels, Chris Young and Kip Fagg, Jack Leiter would be a Texas Ranger. Leiter, the son of former big league pitcher Al Leiter, is definitely on the Rangers’ radar and MLB.com has Leiter going second overall to Texas in their latest mock draft. He has a four-pitch mix he can rely on, and he mi ses bats in and out of the strike zone.There are some durability concerns with a lack of innings in both high school and college, and it’s no secret the Rangers farm system has pitchers that have struggled with the same thing. However, Leiter would not only be a huge PR boost for the Rangers, he could very well turn out to be the impact starter the Rangers desperately need.Kumar Rocker, RHP, VanderbiltHeight: 6-5 | Weight: 245 | Bat/Throw: R/RFastball: 60 | Slider: 70 | Changeup: 55 | Control: 50 | Overall: 60Commit/Drafted: Rockies, 2018 (38th round)Mock DraftsMLB.com: Royals (No. 7)Baseball America: Royals (No. 7)Rocker was the consensus No. 1 pick heading into the college season. With a plus fastball and a dominant slider coupled with traditional size for a starting pitcher, Rocker seemed destined to become a Pirate at the Midsummer Cla sic.But despite a succe sful season, his stock fell due to a velocity drop in the middle of the season.It’s unknown if the velo drop was due to fatigue or an undisclosed arm injury, but it raised serious questions regarding his durability. Pitchers are already a risky investment. Raising red flags like this dropped Rocker in draft boards acro s the industry. But the talent and size are difficult to ignore.Henry Davis, C, LouisvilleHeight: 6-2 | Weight: 210 | Bat/Throw: R/RHit: 60 | Power: 55 | Run: 45 | Field: 45 | Arm: 70 | Overall: Chris Paul Jersey 60Commit/Drafted: N/A
