Top Astros prospect looking to leave injury issues behind with strong AFL stint

The Houston Astros have multiple prospects from the 2024 MLB Draft looking to stamp some value on their name in the Arizona Fall League. One of those players is Houston’s first-round selection from 2024, catcher Walker Janek. Another intriguing player to watch in the AFL, despite his lower 2024 draft position, is 23-year-old outfielder Joseph Sullivan.

Sullivan attracted praise from Baseball America right out of the gate in 2024, but injuries have complicated his development. Sullivan didn’t expect to be playing in the AFL at all this fall, but a series of fortunate events landed him an important opportunity.
