Understandably, most of the hype around the Houston Astros' 2025 MLB Draft class has centered around first round pick Xavier Neyens. Neyens has special raw power as well as the type of projectible frame to make anyone dream of a future All-Star slugger at shortstop or (more likely) third base. However, Neyens has yet to get into a professional game as the Astros are being careful with the prep star while third round pick Ethan Frey is already doing great work in the minors.

Drafted out of LSU with the 95th overall pick in this year's draft, Frey is a massive specimen at 6'6 and 225 pounds.
