Summary
The Texas Rangers stunned everyone by drafting two-way phenom Michael Anderson 149th overall, a Penn State star who shattered school records with 20 homers and a .742 slugging percentage while also throwing 99 mph. Despite potential UCL surgery, the Rangers see him as a high-upside developmental gem, prioritizing his health while betting on his elite bat and arm. Anderson becomes Penn State’s first two-way draft pick since 2022 and their highest selection in years. The Rangers also added two more Penn State signees — pitcher/outfielder Alex Weingartner (Chicago White Sox) and catcher Dalton Harper (Atlanta Braves) — making this a big win for the Nittany Lions and a bold, exciting gamble for Texas.
