These future Texas Rangers look amazing in red, white and blue

It’ll only be a matter of time before these prospects wear “RANGERS” across their chest full time.

We are just over a week into spring training 2021 and everyone’s favorite day has rolled around: picture day.

This year’s picture day was a little different for the Texas Rangers, but that’s not a bad thing.

Four players were highlighted in a Twitter post from the Texas Rangers Player Development department.

These are players who are aiming to be part of the next wave of great Texas Rangers, and will look to be in the big leagues within the next two seasons.

Check it out.

The future got brighter for a day at the Texas Rangers’ spring training photo session.

Headlining this group is top prospect Josh Jung (bottom left), and his above-average plate approach and hit tool.

The hype around Josh Jung is unreal, and for what it’s worth, the Texas Rangers haven’t had this much hype around any one prospect since Jurickson Profar.

Based on rumblings around the team, Josh Jung will either start the 2021 season in Triple-A or the MLB, and looks to be the first of these impact prospects to be in the big leagues.

The next player who could see big league time this season is Fernery Ozuna (bottom right).

The 25-year old converted-infielder should start in the low levels of the minor leagues, but should move up rather quickly, assuming he pitches well.

The following two are oft-injured top prospects who may take a little longer to find their way to Arlington.

Hans Crouse (top left) is in big league camp this spring looking to prove that he’s healthy and showcase his stuff.

He’s arguably got the best overall pitch arsenal in the Texas Rangers’ minor league system, featuring a high-90s fastball, wipeout slider and a changeup in progress.

He has battled bone spurs over the past few seasons, which has limited his game action, but when he’s healthy, he’s as nasty as the best of them.

Bubba Thompson (top right) is a former first-rounder out of Alabama, who ranked in the top-50 prospects (#48) by Baseball Prospectus prior to 2019.

The former two-sport athlete has battled his fair share of injuries and hasn’t fully tapped into that first-round potential that the Texas Rangers saw in 2017.

Assuming he’s healthy, Thompson could find his way to the big leagues within the next few seasons, but has a lot to prove on the offensive side of the ball.

These four players represent the next wave of Texas Rangers’ baseball, with the potential to be impact players at the game’s highest level.

Although we may not see them all this year, we will definitely see them making their MLB debuts very soon.

Plus, they look like they belong in the red, white and blue.

The future looks very bright for the Texas Rangers, and it begins with these guys.
