On Friday, Baseball America released their top 10 prospects for every MLB team, and the Houston Astros list came with little surprises. Here’s a look.

#1 RHP Forrest Whitley

While we wait to see the towering right-hander, Whitley has been sidelined with recent injuries, but him being listed No. 1 is nothing new. He is the future of the Astros staff, and while having five pitches, he has the ability to be a dominant starter in the future.

#2 RHP Luis Garcia

The right-hander has already seen time in the major leagues and started in a pivotal role in the American League Championship Series in 2020, but he is still considered a prospect by service time and usage.
