## Resource

From bench to All-Star in record time: Jacob Latz, once told he’d miss the Rangers’ starting rotation, now headlines the 2026 MLB All-Star Game after a jaw-dropping rise. After tossing four no-hit innings in his second big-league game, he’s been lights-out in the closer’s role—tied for third in AL ERA, leading MLB in saves of four+ outs, and crushing opponents with elite contact suppression. His calm under pressure? A product of seven grueling minor league years, transfer hurdles, and injuries—yet he never quit. Thanks to the Rangers’ patience, he’s now the ultimate workhorse closer, proving persistence pays off in the biggest moments.
