Even though he isn't in the big leagues yet, Sebastian Walcott is making the most of whatever spotlight he can get.

The No. 1 prospect in the Texas Rangers' farm system suited up for the Frisco RoughRiders on Tuesday, taking on the Los Angeles Dodgers-affiliated Tulsa Drillers. The Double-A showdown was televised on MLB Network as part of the MLB Pipeline Prospect Showcase.

Walcott, who is ranked as the No. 9 prospect in baseball, started things off with a single to right. He proceeded to steal second base, then third base on the very next pitch.

The 19-year-old infielder added another single and another stolen base in the bottom of the fifth. He finished the afternoon 2-for-4 with three swipes, leading the RoughRiders to a 5-1 victory.

Through 66 games this season, Walcott is batting .248 with eight home runs, 16 doubles, 33 RBIs, 15 stolen bases and a .753 OPS. Frisco is now 39-30, which is tied for the best record in the Texas League South in 2025.
