Ian Kinsler, a Hall of Famer and special assistant to the president of baseball operations for the Texas Rangers, will represent the team at the upcoming MLB draft lottery. The Rangers hold the eighth-best chance to secure the No. 1 pick, despite finishing with the 10th-worst record in baseball last season.

In a previous lottery, the Rangers successfully moved up in the draft order, and Kinsler's presence is seen as a significant moment for the franchise. The lottery will determine the first six picks from non-playoff teams, with the Rangers having a 2.45% chance of winning.
