Astros Draft Updates: Latest signings, Korey Lee makes debut
Astros first round draft pick Korey Lee made his minor league debut, and nine of the top 10 picks have signed.
Getting right down to business, Astros first round draft pick Korey Lee made his minor league debut on Monday. Lee was assigned to the Class-A short season Tri-City ValleyCats and started his first game, going 0-for-4 at the plate.
Lee also allowed a stolen base in his debut, but was perfect in 10 fielding chances. He should be a sound defensive catcher with a particularly strong arm and good power at the plate, and he could advance quickly. He hit .338 for Cal this season and threw out 12 of 27 stolen base attempts.
