Track Record: Rangel signed with the Braves out of Mexico in 2014 and has largely been an unnoticed, under-the-radar arm who took his time progressing through the system. He repeated Low-A Rome three consecutive years from 2017-2019 but broke out in 2021 with more strikeouts and pushing to Double-A Mississippi in his age-23 season.
Scouting Report: Braves pitching coaches worked with Rangel to trust his stuff more, and that paid off with career high strikeout rates, topping 30% in both High-A and Double-A. He has a three-pitch mix featuring a fastball, changeup and curveball. His fastball ranges from 92-95 mph and touches 96, but the pitch has solid vertical life and some arm-side run. His best secondary is a low-80s changeup with good fastball separation. The pitch earned above-average grades and allowed him to dominate hitters and rack up whiffs. Rangel also throws a 12-to-6 curveball in the mid 70s that draws solid-average grades. Rangel has been an above-average strike thrower over his minor league career and his 6.1% walk rate in 2021 was one of the best marks in Atlanta’s system.
The Future: Rangel’s season was loud enough for the Braves to place him on the 40-man roster. He’ll try to keep missing Triple-A bats in 2022, with a chance to be a big-league depth starter option.
