Sebastian Walcott

18-Year-Old ShortstopSS
Texas Rangers AA
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Walcott's assignment to High-A at the beginning of the season - just three weeks after his 18th birthday - was the most aggressive assignment of any prospect last year. He had a .103 average and 17 strikeouts after his first 11 games, but from there, the tooled up Bahamian infielder slashed .286/.357/.488 with 12 home runs, 28 steals and a 23.8 percent strikeout rate in 110 games, including a five-game run at Double-A to close the campaign. An obvious raw physical tools comp for Walcott would be Elly De La Cruz, as they're both built like NBA shooting guards with monster raw power and speed. However, Walcott conquered High-A at 18 while De La Cruz was 20 when he mastered that level, so there aren't any restrictions on where Walcott's game could be in six months or a year. The most famous recent Bahamian prospect, Jazz Chisholm, also mastered High-A at the age of 20. The most likely outcome would probably be for Walcott to split 2025 between Double-A and Triple-A, setting up a 2026 bid for an Opening Day roster spot. Read Past Outlooks
