Justin Foscue Working At Third And First Base
11 months agoTexas Rangers infielder Justin Foscue, who is ranked as the team's No. 6 prospect by MLB Pipeline, is in a prime position to break camp with the big-league club in 2024 and has been focused on playing both third and first base this offseason. The 24-year-old is a natural second baseman and could contribute at the big-league level for the first time in his career this year, especially with the Rangers having a glaring hole at designated hitter. Versatility might be the quickest way for him to reach the big leagues. He made starts at every infield position except shortstop with Triple-A Round Rock in 2023 and hit .266/.394/.468 with 18 home runs and 14 stolen bases in 122 games. The former first-rounder will most likely be a utility infielder for the Rangers if he's in the big leagues this year, but he currently lacks the power upside to be attractive if he's eventually eligible as a first baseman.
