Korey Lee, the Astros first round pick in 2019, has played the full year so far for the Triple-A Sugar Land Space Cowboys. Rated the #70 prospect in baseball coming into this season by Baseball America, Lee got off to a slow start but turned things around in June slashing .271/.340/.482 with 7 2B, 3B, 3 HR, 19 RBI.
There has yet to be any other information on Castro, but getting another top young talent in Houston will be exciting for Astros fans to watch. For more on Korey Lee, see my article from last season here.
