Richel Del Rosario is the 100th player in our Astros seasonal review. A six-foot, 191 lb. infielder / outfielder from Santo Domingo, DR, Rosario signed with the Astros for $300,000 on January 15, 2021. Born on February 27, 2004, he’s got a while yet before he’s no longer a teenager.
But Rosario has been a professional for two seasons now, and the smart money has him progressing through the system at the rate of one affiliate per season. That would put him in Houston for the 2027 season. Does he have the goods?
Rosario was first assigned to the DSL side of the Astros development system after signing, and played in 46 games through the 2021 campaign.
