Rest-of-Season Projections
Works into, out of jam
Porter allowed one hit and one walk while striking out two over one scoreless inning in Thursday's Spring Breakout game against the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Porter got the start for the Rangers' prospects and worked around a walk and single. The first batter he faced grounded out, but the comebacker hit Porter in the hamstring, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. Following a brief injury timeout, the right-hander walked the next batter on four pitches. "I was fine, with the adrenaline and I didn't feel it, but the trainer just had to come out and make sure I was alright," Porter said. The 2022 fourth-round pick posted a 2.33 ERA and 1.16 WHIP over 73.1 innings at Single-A Down East in 2023. The major red flag standing out was his 5.4 BB/9.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Viewed as a candidate to be the first pitcher off the board in last year's draft, Porter fell to the fourth round as part of a Scott Boras package deal that led to the Texas reaching for Kumar Rocker with the third overall pick. The Rangers went $2.4 million under slot on Rocker and $3.1 million over slot to sign Porter, so he should still be considered a first-round talent. The 19-year-old righty already sports a fastball that sits in the mid-to-upper 90s, a devastating changeup and an improving slider, which combined to make him one of the top prep arms in the nation last spring. In his final year of high-school ball, Porter threw three no-hitters and struck out 115 batters in 58 innings, but he did not pitch after signing.
