]]> We’ve talked about Jurickson Profar before here on Nolan Writin, he continues to impress. Currently Profar is with the Hickory Crawdads the Texas Rangers Single-A affiliate. The Rangers have three affiliates at the Single-A level and Hickory is considered to be a Mid-A team.

Profar was featured in the 2011 Bowman Chrome set

This season Profar has really been on a tear. After 37 games he was batting .278 with a .401 On Base Percentage and an OPS of .950. You can really see his progression between this season and his last season with Low-A Spokane. His OBP is the biggest jump going from .323 to the .401 now a .078 difference.

Clearly the increased competition has not adversely affected the Rangers number two prospect, and he may be due for a promotion. Mike Olt has been crushing the ball with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans (the High-A affiliate), and he may be ready for a trip to Frisco. The very same could be said for Joe Wieland both of whom we will profile later this week. (more…)
