Rangers' Evan Carter Targets 30 Stolen Bases After Injury Recovery

Texas Rangers outfielder Evan Carter, 23, has set an ambitious goal to steal 30 bases in the upcoming 2026 season. Carter, who was 19-for-21 on stolen-base attempts in 131 career games and ranked in the 90th percentile for sprint speed in 2025, believes new first-base coach Travis Jankowski will aid his efforts. He's fully recovered from a fractured wrist that ended his 2025 season, stating he 'actually feel really good right now,' despite chronic back issues and being a major injury risk. Carter is unlikely to play much versus southpaws but holds breakout potential.
