Astros GM James Click and his front office have had little to work with in the way of bonus money in their first two drafts together, but they’ve nonetheless managed to come away with some interesting players that should help to round out the farm going forward. The 2022 crop took a hit when the club failed to sign their second highest selection, prep infielder Alex Ulloa, but strong pro debuts from some other draftees helped to soften that blow. Perhaps the best of the bunch came from right handed hurler and compensatory fourth round selection Chayce McDermott, who had some pre-draft hype that he very quickly made good on.
