SURPRISE, ARIZONA — The Texas Rangers are beginning their journey back to the top of the baseball world, with spring training winding down and Opening Day on the horizon. As the 2023 World Series champions finalize their roster, fans are getting a clear picture of who’s set to make the club, who will begin the year in Triple-A, and which prospects are knocking on the door.
Spring training has been a showcase for both veterans and up-and-coming stars. Standout performances from Adolis García, Corey Seager, and Wyatt Langford have generated plenty of buzz. Langford, in particular, has put together a spectacular spring, batting .481 with a 1.363 OPS, making a strong case for a spot on the Opening Day roster. On the prospect side, names like Sebastian Walcott, Kumar Rocker, Alejandro Osuna, and Jack Leiter have all impressed—Leiter especially, who looks ready to make an immediate impact in Arlington.
Key Players to Watch
As the Rangers prepare to embark on a quest for another title, their offensive core looks as dangerous as ever. Corey Seager has been locked in, posting a .950 OPS and launching a 114-mph home run against the Rockies. Adolis García has shown no signs of slowing down and is eyeing a 50-home run season. Marcus Semien continues to set the tone with disciplined at-bats and steady defense, while Wyatt Langford has been the breakout story of the spring.
Pitching Outlook
Nathan Eovaldi will get the Opening Day start once again, returning on a new multi-year deal after a strong 2024 season. Jacob deGrom, who is working his way back from injury, showed flashes of dominance this spring and is expected to open the season in the rotation. But perhaps no arm has generated more excitement than Jack Leiter, who’s routinely topped 100 mph with his fastball and showcased better command. Tyler Mahle adds a reliable presence in the middle of the rotation, while Kumar Rocker will begin the year in Triple-A, continuing to refine his mechanics. With Patrick Corbin recently signed for added depth and Jon Gray and Cody Bradford sidelined, the Rangers are leaning on both top prospects and veteran leadership to keep the rotation strong.
Season Opener
The Rangers open the 2025 regular season at Globe Life Field on Thursday, March 27, against the Boston Red Sox. First pitch is set for 3:05 p.m. Central Time. Fans can expect a full stadium and plenty of celebration as Texas begins its title defense.
Final Thoughts
With a strong mix of returning stars, exciting young talent, and a front office that continues to make smart additions, the Texas Rangers are well-positioned for another thrilling season. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to the game, 2025 promises to be one to watch.
