Rangers’ hottest minor leaguer has somehow stayed completely under the radar

It happens more often than you might think. With four to five levels or professional baseball, a player or two is bound to fall through the cracks while some go mostly unseen and underrated. The Texas Rangers are hoping the latter with an infielder in Frisco.

Arturo Disla, a 25-year-old Dominican Republic native, is currently tearing it up to start the 2026 season and as such as already received a promotion, once that he still is lighting it up.

Disla's emergence comes out of nowhere is Rangers' bleek farm system

A once Wayland Baptist Pioneer, Disla arrived in the Rangers organization by way of the Dominican Republic Summer League in 2023. After a 14 game stint there, he began the 2024 season with Single-A affiliates Down East and Hickory where he played 121 games and batted .274 with 19 home runs, 71 RBIs, 25 doubles and an .808 OPS.

Those are pretty solid numbers to get the organization thinking about you and at six-foot-two, 240 pound, it adds to the intrigue. What's even more interesting is how he's kicked off his fourth season of professional baseball.

Beginning in High-A Hub City, Disla got off to a .314 start with six home runs, 21 RBIs, seven doubles, 17 runs scored and a .993 OPS. That then earned him a promotion to Double-A Frisco, which he's only played 10 games but has already crushed three long balls and driven in 14 runs for a .421/.522/.763 slash line and 1.285 OPS.

His homer in Sunday's 8-1 Roughriders win capped off a week where he went 6-for-17 (.353), including two home runs, 5 RBIs, four runs and two multi-hit games.

At this pace, sky's the limit for Disla

Really just getting his first taste of minor league action at Double-A or higher, the road for Disla might still be a minute before fans get to see him in Arlington. However, with the big league offense struggling and a weekend of extra frustration boiling over on Jake Burger, why not mix it up?

Truth of the matter is this: the Rangers are sticking with Burger for the time being. Given that he leads the team in home runs, RBIs, runs scored and is among the best on the team in average, hits, doubles, etc. it's Burger's job.

As Disla's journey through the minor legaue continues, especially if he does so on a torrid pace, soon he won't be so easy to ignore.
