    2025 MLB Draft

    That's gotta be as a pitcher right? He only has 77 PAs across 4 seasons for Portland, slashing .238/.279/.429 this season. I suppose he had a...

    2025 MLB Draft

    2025 MLB Draft

    2025 MLB Draft

    I did not expect a 5'9" 2B. Little bit of a nomadic career. Redshirted at La Tech as a freshman before transferring to Grambling State. Raked for...

    2025 MLB Draft

    ESPN mentioned he was connected to the Astros in one of their mocks. Seems like a nice little upside play here. Neyens, Mitchell and Alvarez is an...

    2025 MLB Draft

    2025 MLB Draft

    Typical Astros projection pick. Looks like he barely pitched at a Juco for 2 years, then was a reliever at a mid major program. Now he's the first...

    2025 Astros Minor League Thread

    2025 Astros Minor League Thread
