From Scott Lucas:

Draft Review, Rounds 11-20

11/327. OF Jordan Hawkins
Age 17.9, 6’3”, 185, Oklahoma City, OK

In the last six lengthy drafts (excluding 2020), the Rangers have paid their 11th-round pick enough to partially count against the cap. Hawkins may continue that trend, although information about the young man is lacking. He committed to Barton Community College last summer, and as far as I know, that still stands. He isn’t listed in anyone’s Top (Pick A Number) that I could find including Baseball America’s top 500 high school prospects.

12/357. RHP Jackson Nash
Age 20.9, 6’6”, 235, Longwood (VA)

At Longwood, Nash fanned 59 and walked or hit 26 in 44.1 innings with a 4.29 ERA, mostly in relief. For Williamsport in the MLB Draft League, he shrunk the ERA to 0.64 with three walks and 17 strikeouts in 14 innings. Per the twitter account @draftleaguedata, Nash dealt a 93.6 fastball touching 95.8 with 18” of induced vertical break and 12” of horizontal movement.

13/387. LHP Will Whelan
Age 21.6, 6’3”, 200, Minnesota

Whelan just didn’t pitch much as a junior, nearly always facing a handful of batters once a week. He struck out 19 and walked or hit 11 in 16 innings with the 6.19 ERA. He was more successful albeit extremely walk-prone in the Cape Cod League. I found a short video from 2025 showing a 90-91 sinker, 81-82 slider and 76 curve.

14/417. RHP Alfredo Capacete
Age 21.6, 6’3”, 215, California Baptist
Ranked #262 Baseball America, #420 Perfect Game

You’ve had the risotto, the carbonara, maybe even the osso buco, but have you tried the Alfredo Capacete? He throws a straightforward mid-90s fastball, low-80s slider and an occasional change. He missed two months in the middle of 2026 so pitched only 27 innings with a 4.00 ERA, eight walks and 34 strikeouts.

15/447. RHP Landon Brewer
Age 18.0, 6’3”, 180, Minden, LA

A Louisiana Tech commit, Brewer ranked 10th along high schoolers from that state and was within a “sleeper” group by Baseball America. BA mentions a low-90s heater, and I’ve seen reports of a curve, slider and change.

16/477. 3B Brandon Crabtree
Age 22.4, 6’1”, 185, Catawba College

Listed at 215 rather than 185 on the Catawba College site, and even that might be underselling him. He’s a unit. Batted .413 with 18 homers. 24 doubles, 53 walks and just 16 strikeouts. Appears to have played all or nearly all his games at first. Committed to NC State out of high school, but after an injury that fall, he left and has played Juco or Div II since.

17/507. RHP Collin Cobb
Age 21.7, 6’3”, 195, Williston State (ND)

He’s committed to U of Arizona if unsigned. For the Tetons, he posted a 2.18 ERA, 119 strikeouts, 12 walks in 70.1 IP. Low 90s fastball, sweeper, split-change.

18/537. C Max Kaufer
Age 21.3, 6’0”, 215, Wichita St.
Ranked #408 BA, #449 PG

Batted .440/.567/1.180 with 11 homers in 18 early games but spent most of season hurt. Prior seasons at TAMU and South Carolina weren’t remotely at the same level, although the power was evident in the New England Collegiate League. He’ll join Houston (the university) if he doesn’t sign.

19/567. RHP Selden Kolkebeck
Age 18.5, 6’4”, 210, Hoboken, NJ
Ranked #330 BA, #488 PG

He’s committed to Columbia. Already filled out to an extent, Kolkebeck has a low-90s fastball touching 95 but sliding into the uppers 90s late, a slider and change.

20/597. RHP Cody Airington
Age 21.9, 6’2”, 200, Austin Peay

Per a reporter who covers Cincinnati, Airington threw his fastball more than 90% of the time. In 14 starts and 63 innings in 2026, Airington struck out 47 veruss 34 combined walks and HBPs with an ERA of 5.12.

Joe Doyle gave our draft a C+. He seemed to like Calhoun, Brainard, Capacete, and Kaufer. He thought we are depending too heavily on currently or previously injured players.

I have the app on my mobile device and my subscription transferred over but I have not figured out yet how to stream over to my TV. I have one that is a smart TV and can not load an app on it like victory

I can go to my Samsung TV web browser and get it but I don't see an app for it either. I think it took a week or so when Victory came out but they had more time to prepare for it before going live than bzzr seems to have.

Same here. Sent email asking for instructions

Suppose DISH has not yet made the change to to remove VICTORY+ and add BZZR to their channel index.

I googled BZZR sports and it says victory accounts will b transferred

2027 MLB Mock Draft from Joe Doyle.

19. Rangers — Jimmy Janicki, C, Troy​

The Sun Belt Player of the Year and one of the top college catchers in the class, Janicki slashed .343/.415/.664 with 21 homers and 87 RBIs while anchoring a Troy team that punched into the College World Series. He’s electric. It’s a bat-first backstop with real power and enough behind the plate to stick. Texas, which knows a good college catcher when it sees one, would happily take him at nineteen.

 

[saddles]

Apparently, sometime in August Roku TVs will have the BZZR app added.

Mine was. There was a 6 character code in the email. That was actually the easiest part of the transaction.

Still haven’t heard anything from them.

 

[saddles]

Walcott was 2 for 3 tonight with a walk and a HR.

 

[saddles]

A better outing for David Davalillo tonight.

 

[saddles]

Carlos Done hit for the cycle last night in the Dominican Summer League. He did it in 7 innings. His OPS is at .814. He won't turn 18 years old until mid-November. He is a centerfielder.

Tonight Carlos Done was 2 for 5 with 2 triples.

 

[DTLUNA]

Still haven’t heard anything from them.

I haven't either.

 

[Kelleyman]

If you have Victory plus you should have gotten an email with a code so you ban launch BZZR for free on your mobile phone or tablet or PC if email is connected
It will be web based or app on the Apple or Google based devices

They say you can cast to a smart TV but no apps I have found on the TV as of now which would be better
Yes the whole thing is a bit of a pain and somewhat broken consumer promises

 

[Duane1952]

I don’t think BZZR is going to be a good platform to watch ranger games. Can’t get anyone to answer the phone or send me an email.
