The Astros keep showing the baseball world that they continue to grow outfielders out of nowhere. More than pitchers, shortstops, or first basemen, the Astros have had the ability to bring talented OFs from the Minors for years. Jake Meyers is just one more of those brilliant names Houston has developed either from the start or after a trade.
Appealing to memories from recent years, the first name that comes to mind is George Springer. Then, Yordan Álvarez, Kyle Tucker, Chas McCormick, Myles Straw, and Meyers.
Fortunately, we can say it’s even funny how things have worked out for the Astros.
