Entering the 2023 Spring Training, no one probably would’ve thought that a low-profile prospect named Corey Julks was on his way to making the Opening Day roster. “That’s why you have to come in with an open mind, and you have to allow the players to play”, Astros GM Dana Brown said when he announced that Julks was going to begin the season in the MLB.
And he has done just that. The Astros have let Julks play, and he has not disappointed the team by any means.
In 17 games, the 27-year-old outfielder and U of H alum has provided fire and an electrifying game to Houston.
