Astros #1 Draft Pick: Catcher Korey Lee, a powerful arm and bat

A lot has been said about who the Astros were going to select this past week. A lot of speculation bounced between a college bat or a high school pitcher, most notably JJ Goss out of Cypress Ranch High School. The Astros addressed a massive need in their system that is a sneaky good weapon to boot in Korey Lee.

Let’s get the lazy analysis out of the way here. MLB.com had Lee ranked as the #119 overall player in the draft. Baseball America had him #133. Some may say this is a reach.
