NOTABLES
Zach Cole, OF
Cole got off to a slow start this season with some injuries but once he got hot he couldn’t be stopped. He started the year in Double-A and in 82 games he had 19 doubles, 14 home runs and a .868 OPS. He was promoted to Triple-A where he hit went nuclear hitting .353 with 5 home runs over 15 games before earning a call-up to Houston. Overall he had a 22 doubles, 7 triples, 19 home runs and a system leading 151 wRC+ over 97 games.
Trey Dombroski, LHP
After a tough season in 2024 for Dombroski, he turned things around this year. The left-hander posted a 3.61 ERA with 116 strikeouts over 112.1 innings. He allowed just 91 hits in Double-A good for a 7.3 H/9, down from 11.1 H/9 last year. He made two starts in Triple-A too and should start there next season.
Pascanel Ferreras, INF
Ferreras was the last pick of the 2023 draft and has already defied the odds making it up to Double-A. He played the full season in Corpus Christi and led the team in hits and doubles. In 113 games, Ferreras hit .242 with 23 doubles, 3 triples and 7 home runs. He finished strong hitting .275 over his final 43 games while playing all over the infield for the Hooks.
Alimber Santa, RHP
Santa turned heads in spring training when, as a teenager, the right hander sat 96-97 MPH with his fastball and showed a changeup, slider and curveball. After some injuries the Astros moved him to relief this season and he performed well for the Hooks posting a 1.26 ERA in 57 innings allowing 35 hits. He was promoted to Triple-A and he struggled a bit but was a solid season overall for Santa.
