The Astros have a deep and varied group of outfield prospects across levels. Here’s a look at a couple of the more noticeable early season lines.
Ross Adolph, Quad Cities River Bandits
One of my favorite sleeper prospects in the Astros system, Adolph is an athletic player out of Ohio who was acquired in the J.D. Davis deal. A 12th round pick with a scary injury history, Adolph gave his stock a shot in the arm in 2018 by slashing .276/.348/.509 with 14 steals in 17 attempts in the New York-Penn League. While his 19.7% K rate wasn’t exactly sterling, the impressive tools he showed off made it easy to stomach.
