Skip Schumaker on Evan Carter’s Growth, Aggressive Baserunning & Rangers Spring Battles

Texas Rangers manager Skip Schumaker joins the show as spring training games are about to begin, and he covers everything happening inside camp.

Schumaker talks about Evan Carter’s physical growth and mindset entering camp, why Brandon Nimmo could be a major influence in the Rangers outfield, and how the team plans to be more aggressive on the bases in 2026. He explains why players will have the green light, what second tier speed really means, and why he does not want guys playing tight.

There’s also insight on the young pitchers attacking hitters, why comparing prospects to Craig Kimbrel is tricky, what he looks for once games start, and how the new coaching staff has already made an impact inside the clubhouse.
