The Texas Rangers have a couple of intriguing prospects in Brock Porter and Abimelec Ortiz, both of whom have faced their share of challenges recently. As we look ahead to the 2025 season, the question on everyone's mind is whether these two can bounce back and reclaim their status as top prospects.
Brock Porter, once heralded as the top arm in the Rangers' system, has seen his trajectory take a nosedive. After a promising start, injuries and mechanical issues have left him struggling to find his form. With reports suggesting he’s back to throwing in the mid-90s, can he regain his command and become the pitcher everyone expected? What do you think the Rangers should do with him this spring? Should they stick with the mechanical adjustments or revert to his original style?
On the other hand, Abimelec Ortiz had a breakout year in 2023, only to falter in 2024. His ability to hit for power and average is undeniable, but can he overcome the struggles he faced last season? With a limited defensive profile, how crucial is it for him to maintain his offensive production? Is he a candidate for a position change, or should the Rangers double down on his bat?
Both players have the potential to significantly impact the Rangers' future, but their paths are fraught with uncertainty. What are your bold predictions for Porter and Ortiz in 2025? Will they rise to the occasion, or are they destined to remain in the shadows? Share your thoughts and let’s discuss!
