The Rangers are being patient, like they always are with young arms, but his advanced stuff and solid build could accelerate his path to the majors by 2029—right when some of their current stars might be moving on. With MLB Pipeline ranking him third-best and a lefty in short supply, Rojas could become a cornerstone of their rotation.
