Rangers outfielder Nomar Mazara is widely regarded as an overall top-20 prospect -- No. 5 in the Baseball Prospectus rankings. That's not a surprise, as he wows scouts with his hit tool and last year thrived as high as the Triple-A level despite being just 20 years of age (i.e., much, much younger than his peer group).
Recently in minor-league camp, Mazara gave us a strobe-lit glimpse of what makes him special at the plate. Please enjoy the following example of high-level baseball aesthetics ...

That's a nice swing right there, and Mazara clearly does a great job of getting his lower half involved. You can see why he's going to hit for power once he matures.
Mazara was added to the 40-man roster in November, so we'll very likely see him in Arlington at some point during the 2016 season. Despite his young age, he's probably ready to help a team win at the highest level right now.
