Xavier Neyens may be the hottest Astros prospect name, but an under-the-radar pitching prospect could end up stealing the show in 2026.
When Houston Astros fans think about the team's farm system, a few names come up almost immediately. Xavier Neyens was just picked in the first round, which makes him fresh on everyone's minds, with Brice Matthews, Walker Janek, and Kevin Alvarez also getting a lot of attention. However, Astros pitching prospect Ryan Forcucci may be as exciting, if not more, than anyone in Houston's minor league ranks.
