Foscue's Hot Streak Boosts Rangers' Prospect

0:00It's March 31st. Welcome to Dallas News Today, powered by AI. Justin Foscue looked like a contender for second base or utility with the Texas Rangers this spring, but a hamstring tweak early in camp knocked him. Out of the mix, he couldn't rack up enough ad bats to push for the opening day roster. So Josh Smith locked down second and his equaled Iran grabbed the infield utility. Spot. Fast forward to opening weekend in AAA, with the round rock express, and Foscue is tearing it up against the Sugarland Space Cowboys. He slashed 462 over 500 with 769 power, including a double, a homer, and leading the team with six hits in just 13 ad bats, only one strikeout, no walks, but the bats alive again. This 27 year old first rounder from 2020 out of Mississippi State has always mashed in the minors nearly 450 games. At 274 over 377 with 493 slugging, 80 homers, and 321 rivies.

1:02Majors were rough though, just 19 games last year at a brutal 059 average. He's leveled up his game too, going from pure second baseman to handling all four infield spots. Still, the path-ups crowded with Cody Freeman working back from injury and Cameron Colley shining after a strong camp, both their round rock now. One scorching series like that pumps his value just when he needs it, keeping Foscue squarely on the Ranger's radar for whenever that next opportunity drops.
