The Recliner Nerd's top 20 Texas Rangers prospects countdown reaches the top 10 with a 2021 breakthrough star

John Moore has four position players and a pitcher ranked from 10th to sixth, including a pitcher who missed all of last season.

Dustin Harris did just about everything well offensively in 2021, his first full professional season (Hickory Crawdads/Ashley Salinas).

Moving over to the Texas Rangers Baseball Newsletter (TRBN) in 2021 was a big change for me. After three years covering the Rangers for another media outlet I made the jump to join Jeff Wilson and T.R. Sullivan.

Along with co-hosting the Texas Rangers Baseball Podcast (TRBP) I am still doing some writing. One of my favorite things I wanted to bring over to TRBN was my annual top 20 prospect countdown. 

As a reminder, no prospect can have any major league service time. Yes, Sam Huff will not be on my list. 

Today we get into the cream of the crop. Yep, it’s time to dive into the top 10. No matter who puts out a list, the top prospects in any organization get debated more than the rest. This should be no different. However, we must forge on.

So, we continue our countdown. Here are 20-16 and 15-11 if you are trying to keep up.
