The MacArthur High alumnus had an immediate impact in his postseason debut, following a sterling rookie campaign.
Texas Rangers' Josh Jung claps after scoring on an RBI single against the Seattle Mariners on Sept. 30, 2023, in Seattle.rookie Josh Jung went hitless in his postseason debut Tuesday afternoon, but the 25-year-old San Antonio native had a big-enough swing to get the scoring started in the second inning
With runners on the corners and one out in the top of the second inning, the third baseman, batting eighth, launched a high fly ball to right field that was deep enough to score Nathaniel Lowe—the first run of the 2023 playoffs. It turns out that's all the offense Texas would need. In their first postseason appearance since 2016, the Rangers blanked the Rays, 4-0, thanks in large part to some sterling defense and seven shutout innings from starter Jordan Montgomery. Texas has to win just one of the next two games in the best-of-three Wild Card round to advance for a potential matchup with the top-seeded Baltimore Orioles.
Jung, who attended MacArthur High School in San Antonio, was drafted by Texas in the first round of the 2019 MLB Draft. After appearing in 26 games for Texas last year, he followed up with an explosive 2023,Jung went on to finish with 28 home runs, 29 doubles, 84 runs, 147 hits and 84 RBI in his first full major-league season—all top-5 for AL rookies this year.
