Every team has a handful of players that no matter what always seem to completely perform to their best ability.
The Texas Rangers have several of those from the past and even the present. Everyone from Corey Seager's older brother Kyle Seager, to Khris Davis and now Shea Langeliers.
With that being said, here are three active players in Major League Baseball that no matter what never shy away from dominating the Rangers when the go head-to-head.
3 active MLB players who continually dominate against the Texas Rangers
Shea Langeliers
The most recent addition to the "Let's dominate the Texas Rangers" club, Langeliers has been a throne in the side of Rangers pitchers the last couple of seasons.
His domination August 2022 with his first home against the Rangers in his second game against Texas. Since then, the Athletics catcher is hitting .285 with 11 home runs, 28 RBIs and 21 runs scored in 34 career games.
Last year, Langeliers had a three-homer game versus Texas in Globe Life Field. Most recently Langeliers went 5-for-11 in his three games against the A's this week.

Mike Trout
To play devil's advocate, Mike Trout has made a career on tormenting every team and almost every pitcher throughout his multi-MVP 15 year career.
It's also only natural that one of the team's you play anywhere from 9-15 games against every year is either a team you are really good against or you can't hit water if you fell off a boat. Trout to the Rangers is the first one.
The right-fielder has a .325 career batting average and 44 home runs against the Rangers in his career, which is all-time lead for most against the Rangers ever. And of course what is amazing about Trout's dominance against Texas is the 15 years of time. He's maintained those numbers over 189 games against them.
Justin Verlander
If Justin Verlander is facing off against the Texas Rangers, the chances are in his favor that Verlander's team will win that game.
The multi-Cy Young winner is 21-9 against the Rangers in his career with a 2.57 ERA and 247 strikeouts in 36 games against them. That is arguably a Cy Young worthy season in of itself. So he's pitched to a Cy Young winning level aganst them.
Verlander's last game against Texas however, he took the loss. On April 25 in San Francisco, he threw 6 innings of two-run ball (one earned) but was stuck with the loss because his counterpart, Nathan Eovaldi, held the Giants' offense scoreless.
