Korey Lee’s Loft Woes in Rear View?
The Astros selection of Korey Lee came as a bit of surprise back on draft day 2019, but the backstop out of Cal had earned himself plenty of fans with his big junior year performance hitting back-to-back with Andrew Vaughn. After hitting just .238/.328/.426 as a sophomore, he erupted for a .337/.416/.618 slash in his draft year, hitting 15 home runs and looking like a legitimate behind-the-plate defender along the way. His track record of hitting was short, but scouts often commented that while he didn’t really have a plus tool in his kit, his game was very solid across the board, offering upside on both sides of the ball.
