Player Outlook
Sebastian Walcott has the frame (6-foot-4, 190 pounds) and elite athleticism to stand out in the field, even to the untrained eye. The Bahamian infielder spent most of his age-17 season in the Arizona Complex League, while also playing nine games in the Dominican Summer League and four games at High-A at the end of the year. He needs to make significant improvements as a hitter to reach his superstar ceiling. Given how poor complex-league pitching is, Walcott's 32.5 percent strikeout rate there was concerning, even when factoring in his youth. He is a plus runner, and it's not clear how much he will slow down as he fills out his frame. It's possible he just gets stronger and doesn't slow down, but he could also really fill out and move to third base. For what it's worth, he has been benched by the team due to not managing his emotions on the field. If he can improve his plate discipline, particularly against offspeed pitches, the sky is the limit for Walcott, but the risk is extreme.

  • Rangers' Sebastian Walcott: Aggressive assignment to High-A

    Walcott will begin the 2024 season with High-A Hickory, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports. While Walcott finished the 2023 season with four games at High-A, it's still surprising to see him assigned to that level less than a month after turning 18 years old, as he never played at Single-A and struck out a lot (32.5 K%) in the Arizona Complex League last season. Known for his extremely loud tools (plus-plus raw power, plus speed), the 6-foot-4 Walcott has superstar upside if he can keep the strikeouts in check, but that could prove difficult this season as the youngest player in the South Atlantic League.

  • Rangers' Sebastian Walcott: Gets call to High-A

    The Rangers promoted Walcott from the rookie-level Arizona Complex League to High-A Hickory on Sunday. At just 17 years and five months old, Walcott will become the youngest player in the South Atlantic League. Walcott received the green light to bypass an assignment to Single-A Down East after he slashed .273/.325/.524 with seven home runs and nine stolen bases across 157 plate appearances in the ACL.
