NOTES:

Janek, the Astros first round pick from 2024, put together a pretty strong AFL. He finished 4th in the AFL in runs batted in with 20 RBI. He also connected on 4 doubles and 3 home runs. Overall he had a .769 OPS in 13 games. Hopefully this sets him up for a big 2026. Janek was also named an AFL Fall Star.

Sullivan had a breakout 2025 season where he finished with 17 home runs, 42 stolen bases and 88 walks in 106 games. The Astros sent him to the AFL and he continued to hit. Sullivan played in 15 games and hit .296 with 14 runs batted in and 8 stolen bases. A great AFL for him after a breakout season.

Bush also had a breakout 2025 season posting a .777 OPS between High-A and Double-A. He performed well in his time in the AFL posting a .908 OPS with 13 walks in 12 games. This included 2 doubles and a homer as well. Nice performance from him and this sets him up well for 2026.

Brito started the 2025 season well but missed time due to injury. This was a chance for him to get some time again and he performed well posting a 3.97 ERA and striking out 22 over 11.1 innings. He had some dominant outings too flashing his fastball that was touching 100 MPH. He was an AFL Fall Star too.

Hicks had a nice 2024 season but really struggled in 2025 posting a 5.59 ERA in Double-A. The Astros sent him to the AFL and he dominated this fall. He pitched in 4 games and tossed 14 scoreless innings allowing just 6 hits while striking out 19. This earned him an AFL Fall Star spot as well as being named Pitcher of the Year for the AFL.
