Overall: Bannister has one of the more unusual entries to pro ball that we've seen. He was born in the Bahamas but then moved to Maryland and played high school baseball in the states for three seasons. Before his senior season his family moved to the Dominican Republic and then back to the Bahamas. The Rangers signed him for just under $850,000 as part of their 2019 class. He's a physical specimen with big raw power and plus speed. Severe contact and approach issues hurt the power numbers but the tools are loud. He's a right-handed hitter that also has some work to do defensively, but he's the most gifted athlete in a system full of them.
