Texas Rangers 2022 Draft Prospects: SS Brooks Lee

As you might be able to gather from this slider, 2022’s draft class is loaded with shortstops, much like 2021’s class.

Brooks Lee is the last one though, we promise!

Lee, a collegiate shortstop at Cal Polytech, hails from the same state as oft-rumored 2021 draft prospect SS Marcelo Mayer.

The freshman infielder is a switch hitter with plus potential from both sides and is actually ranked as the top hitter in the 2021 draft class according to Baseball America, even ahead of the highly touted Elijah Green. That is some praise for Brooks Lee.

He can pick it with the glove too, so naturally he’s the full package as many of these other prospects seem to be.

Lee probably won’t be a Texas Ranger, as he’ll be selected before they have a chance to pick, but he’s still lots of fun to watch and name to keep track of.

Who do you want the Texas Rangers to select in the 2022 MLB Draft?
