Ravelo was taken by the White Sox in the 6th round back in 2010. After batting .254 in 48 games with Bristol in 2010, Ravelo had a great season in 2011, batting .338/.381/.415 along with a .795 OPS combined with Bristol and Kannapolis. Ravelo got off to another hot start in 2012, but cooled down later in the season. Still, he batted .290/.343/.397 with an OPS of .739 in 76 games and was named a South Atlantic League All-Star. However, in early July he left the team because of personal reasons and never returned.
Rangel Ravelo will be back with the White Sox this year according to FutureSox. While Ravelo has put up some great numbers and a 1.9 SO/BB ratio, there are some concerns surrounding Ravelo (besides him leaving the team). First, Ravelo has only hit 3 homers so far in his career (187 games). Defensively, Ravelo committed 15 errors last year which leaves some to believe he will eventually move from third to first base. If Ravelo can develop some power (usually the last tool to develop for prospects) and cut down on the errors, he can become a very nice prospect in the White Sox organization because it seems that the bat is there.
