BA 2012 Texas League Top 20 Prospects (AA)
1. Jurickson Profar, ss, Frisco (Rangers)
Age: 19 B-T: B-R Ht.: 6-0 Wt.: 165 Signed: Curacao '09
Even in a loaded league, Profar's all-around ability stood out. A 19-year-old
jumping who skipped high Class A, he adjusted quickly and took off on a
29-game hitting streak that lasted from April into May. He made his major
league debut in September and homered in his first at-bat.
A switch-hitter who should hit .300 with plus power for his position, Profar
has great bat speed and a solid approach at the plate. He's an above-average
defender with good range and a strong arm, though he tends to sling the ball
and lose accuracy on his throws. He's an above-average runner as well.
"He's very confident because he can do everything on a baseball field," San
Antonio manager John Gibbons said. "But he's also intelligent and plays the
game the right way."

4. Mike Olt, 3b, Frisco (Rangers)
Age: 23 B-T: R-R Ht.: 6-2 Wt.: 210 Drafted: Connecticut, 2010 (1st round
supplemental)
Olt drew attention with a powerful batting-practice display at the Futures
Game in July, and by August he had been called up to the big leagues. He led
the TL with 28 homers despite of leaving a month early, and also topped the
league with a .579 slugging percentage.
Olt is an average hitter, and he took a leap forward this year because of his
increased power output from the right side. He doubled his home run total
from 2011, partly because of more friendly ballparks in the TL but also
because he showed more patience and put himself in better hitter's counts.
A shortstop early in his college career at Connecticut, Olt has become an
above-average defender at third base, with soft hands and above-average arm
strength. He has good range even though he's a below-average runner.

14. Cody Buckel, rhp, Frisco (Rangers)
Age: 20 B-T: R-R Ht.: 6-1 Wt.: 170 Drafted: Royal HS, Simi Valley, Calif.,
2010 (2nd round)
Buckel opened the season by dominating in high Class A before moving up to
Frisco at the end of June. He mixed in a few rough starts but acquitted
himself well, particularly for a 20-year-old in Double-A.
Because he's 6 feet tall and has an unorthodox delivery, he earns comparisons
to both Tim Lincecum and Trevor Bauer. Like those pitchers, Buckel also shows
great confidence on the mound and attacks hitters with a variety of pitches.
Buckel's fastball ranges from 89-94 mph with good life, and he hits the high
end of that range regularly. He shows good feel for a cutter/slider,
curveball and changeup, with the curve earning the highest marks this season.
If scouts have a concern, it's that he relied on his secondary pitches too
much rather than establishing his fastball.
