The Houston Astros fell to the Miami Marlins 6-5 on Monday, but the number three rated prospect in the Astros’ system made his spring training debut. Hunter Brown, a fifth-round pick in 2019, has been outed as the best pitching prospect in Houston’s minor league system for the upcoming season.
At 22-years-old, the right-hander went one scoreless inning on Monday, while fanning one batter and giving up a hit. Brown hasn’t pitched past low-A in his minor league career with the pandemic cancelling the 2020 season.
