Rangers will give Apostel a look at first baseNovember 22, 2020 | 07:15 PM

The Rangers plan to give Sherten Apostel a look at third base this spring. Analysis: Apostel has mostly played third base in his professional career, but he's not anything close to an elite defender at the position, and his size (6'4/235) suggests he might outgrow it soon. The 21-year-old got a brief call-up during the 2020 season; going 2-for-20 with nine strikeouts in seven games. He's one of the top prospects in the system, and since the Rangers don't have an obvious answer at first base right now, it makes sense that they'd give him a look at the position during the Cactus League. More than likely, Apostel will open the 2021 season in the minors, but he could receive a promotion over the summer.
