2026 Astros Minor League Thread

19 y/o Juan Soto?!

 

Highest remaining draft pick in the system by year:
2017: Jake Meyers (13th round)
2018: Jeremy Pena (3rd)
2019: Hunter Brown (5th)
2020: Alex Santos II (2nd)
2021: Spencer Arrighetti (6th)
2022: Andrew Taylor (2nd)
2023: Brice Matthews (1st)
2024: Walker Janek (1st)
2025: Xavier Neyens (1st)

 

Powell is the type of prospect who could come out with an absolute monster first half in Asheville and look like a future superstar (like Jon Gaston’s 2009 season) then immediately completely flame out in AA.

 

Or he could be a great prospect who's playing SS after Pena walks.

You never know.

 

I’d put huge money on that not happening. They already moved him off of SS and into the corner OF.this spring.
