Although the Astros’ farm system has been ranked near the bottom in MLB, they are favorited for one Top 50 international prospect.
In MLB Pipeline’s latest Top 50 international prospect rankings, the Houston Astros were linked to only one prospect: Kenny Gomez, an outfielder from San Cristobal, Dominican Republic. The organization has been identified as the most active in Cuba in regard to scouting, but none of the recent verbal agreements or signings made the Top 50.
Gomez is a left-handed hitter with 55 hit and 55 power on an 80-point scale.
