Oops! All Astros: Yefri Carrillo

Yefri Carrillo was a six-foot-two, 170 lb. outfielder from Rio Chico, VZ. Born on January 13, 2001, the Astros signed him as such on July 2, 2017. In 2018 and 2019, he played at two rookie levels and at the Short-Season-A level with the Tri-City ValleyCats. He batted in 87 games in total, slashing .203/.313/.282. Not embarrassing exactly, but also not the stuff that dreams are made of. Carrillo took an unexpected approach to try and stick in pro baseball.

In 2021, Carrillo reemerged as a pitcher, and started in five of his 13 appearances with the FCL Astros.
