The Astros’ farm system is known for its consistent depth, which makes it both exciting and intimidating to follow. Now in 2019, the system is as strong as it has been since before the Astros’ metamorphosis into World Series winner; particularly on the pitching side, where the organization has significant talent at every rung on the ladder and each evaluator seems to have a different set of favorites and sleeper picks. Pro scouting is often done on an organization-by-organization basis, which can make it more difficult for players in especially deep systems such as Houston, San Diego or Tampa to stand out as they might in a vacuum.
