Houston Astros Prospect Profile: Nehomar Ochoa

Nehomar Ochoa – OF

HT/WT: 6’4”/230 | Bat/Throw: R/R | School: Galena Park HS (TX) | DOB: 07/31/05

Overview:

Ochoa was drafted by the Astros in the 11th round of the Galena Park High School in Houston, and signed for $300,000 double the slot for the 11th round. He is huge kid, listed at 6’4″ and 230 lbs. Despite his size, he is a good athlete who can play all three outfield positions, though he will probably end up in the corners or at first base down the line. Ochoa has above average power and is a good baserunner with speed to swipe some bags. He had a nice first season at 18 years old but a freak accident derailed his 2025 season. This year Ochoa was back to form hitting .287 but his season ended due to a broken finger.
