Astros: Top draft pick, Seth Beer, making his presence felt quickly
The Astros 2018 first round pick is establishing himself as a top-notch prospect early in his professional career.
The first few weeks of professional baseball for a player are a lot like their freshman year in college. While not being entirely indicative of future stardom, success early on sets a high bar for a career. Such has been the case with Astros first-round pick Seth Beer.
Beer came into Clemson as the number two overall player in the nation. He proceeded to become the first freshman to win the Dick Howser Trophy, awarded to the nation’s best player. In just a couple of years, Beer turned into a first-round draft pick.
