The Astros have had success finding diamonds in the rough late in the draft and the 2017 draft looks to be no different with the selection of Josh Rojas.
Rojas grew up in Arizona and initially attended Paradise Valley Community College in Phoenix, Arizona before transferring to the University of Hawaii. He played two years at Hawaii before being selected by the Astros in the 26th round of the 2017 draft.
Rojas was assigned to Quad Cities following the draft where he showed a nice uptick in power with a .231 ISO and finished with 10 HR and a 116 wRC+.
