Oops! All Astros: Tommy DeJuneas & Yainer Diaz

Tommy DeJuneas is a six-foot-one, 210 lb. right-handed relief pitcher from Charlotte, NC. Born on October 24, 1995, he was picked in the 26th round of the 2017 draft by the Cleveland Indians, with the 792nd overall choice out of NC State. The only player to make the major leagues after getting drafted at that spot is David Hensley (0.3 WAR). Players out of NC State comprise 169 draft picks and 27 eventual major leaguers, led by Trea Turner (29.7 WAR).

DeJuneas remained in Cleveland’s system for a calendar year, then found himself traded to Houston’s system on July 6, 2018 for James Hoyt.
