In a season in which Astros pitching is dominating like never before, it seems appropriate that the first big minor league promotion is for a pitcher.
Corbin Martin graduated from Cypress Ranch high school and pitched for the Texas A&M Aggies for three years. He amassed 87 2/3 innings his junior year, with a 3.80 ERA. The 6’2” right-hander was the 56th overall pick last year. He pitched 32.2 innings with a 2.20 ERA in his debut season.
Martin’s Minor League Career Has Been Excellent
Martin spent his first season between the Gulf Coast League Astros (Rookie-level) and the Tri-City ValleyCats (Short Season Rookie).
