Rangers prospect Jorge Alfaro utilized timely hitting and stellar defense to help lead Surprise to a 2-0 victory in the Arizona Fall League Championship game on Saturday.
The 20-year-old backstop plated Henry Urrutia with an RBI single in the second inning to get the Saguaros on the board, and that was all the offense that they would need. Alfaro also cut down a pair of would-be base-stealers to protect the advantage. He had a very productive fall season, slashing .386/.438/.500 with 11 RBI in 19 games. Sat, Nov 16, 2013 09:04:00 PM

Jorge Alfaro - C - Rangers

Rangers prospect Jorge Alfaro is batting .423/.414/.538 with eight runs scored and two extra-base hits through seven games in the Arizona Fall League.

After a rough start in his first taste of the AFL, the 20-year-old catcher has been on fire as of late, going 9-for-16 with seven runs scored and four RBI over his last four contests. One of the more intriguing young players participating in this year’s AFL, Alfaro is coming off a breakout campaign in which he batted .265/.346/.463 with 24 doubles, 18 home runs in 113 games across three levels. While his approach will need to be cleaned up after striking out 122 times this season, Alfaro has one of the higher ceilings among catching prospects and should reach the major leagues at some point in 2015.

Jorge Alfaro - C - Rangers

Rangers prospect Jorge Alfaro suffered a broken left hand in Friday's game with Class A Hickory.

The Rangers' top catching prospect fractured the fifth metacarpal -- just days after being named to the July 13 Futures Game. The injury will likely keep him out of the event but shouldn't sideline him for too terribly long. The 20-year-old has shown some pop this year, blasting 11 home runs and hitting .263/.334/.458 in 72 games.

Jorge Alfaro - C - Rangers

The Rangers have signed 16-year-old Columbian catcher Jorge Alfaro for $1.3 million, according to MLB.com's Jesse Sanchez.

Alfaro is a touted youngster with good power and a strong arm. The 6-foot-1, 185-pounder chose Texas over several other potential suitors. He joins an organization with already stellar depth at the catcher position, although Alfaro is years away from contributing at the major league level.
