Joey Gallo Continues to Light it Up

It’s not very often that a prospect gets written about as much as Joey Gallo, but then again it is not that often that a prospect like Joey Gallo comes along. He was promoted to the Frisco Rough Riders a couple of days ago and has done nothing but impress since arriving. Texas Rangers fans are already clamoring to know when the 20-year-old third baseman will get his first shot at the majors.

Joey Gallo, so far in two games at the AA level of play has hit a walk off home run in his first game, and has gone 3-7 with 2 home runs and 6 RBI already. Joey Gallo is an all or nothing type of player right now. He has struck out 3 times as well.

• Early 2023 MLB mock draft has Texas Rangers selecting an Ohtani-lite
• 3 Texas Rangers outfield trade targets not named Bryan Reynolds
• Did Jacob deGrom really mean what he said at his Texas Rangers press conference?
• Martin Perez accepting the qualifying offer looking like solid deal for the Rangers
• 4 outfielders the Texas Rangers can still pursue this winter

I tend to agree with Jeff Wilson, and I don’t see much of a chance of Gallo making it to the majors this season. Of course I would have said the same thing about

earlier in the year.

The Texas Rangers season is getting dangerously close to being over, and I don’t see them being one or two pieces away from putting together a winning team. Therefore, there is no need to trade away all of this talent they have to try and win now. It should be fun to watch Joey Gallo hit AA pitching the rest of the season, and he is something to get excited about in an otherwise disappointing season for Texas Rangers fans.
