Summary
The Texas Rangers just pulled off a bold move by drafting 19-year-old lefty Gio Rojas 16th overall — and he’s already got MLB Pipeline projecting him to the majors by 2029. With a 98 mph fastball, a sharp sweeper, and international experience from the U-18 World Cup, Rojas defies the usual four-year timeline for high school pitchers. His maturity, advanced arsenal, and the Rangers’ need for left-handed arms could fast-track his climb — even if they still plan to hold him back until next year. This might be the rare prep arm who doesn’t just wait… he races. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
