Jorge is a testament to the strength of the Texas Rangers’ scouting system. His offense is great (10 home runs, 31 RBIs, a .250 batting average), and he’s also growing into being an amazing defensive catcher. He’s young, and he’s still learning, but he’s also super athletic. He is a very special young man.
I couldn’t have written the script any better ... I’m very thankful the Texas Rangers drafted me and I’m ready to play some baseball. Looking at these guys who have come up through the system is obviously a testimony to how good the farm system is.More quotes »
