Astros Draft: Rounding out the top 5 picks dominated by CF’s
The Astros have completed two days of the draft through round ten. Let’s examine the top five that were heavy on position players with one pitcher picked.
Position players and their bats, especially center fielders, seemed to be the dominating theme the first couple of days of the Astros‘ 2019 draft.
