Korey Lee, the Houston Astros top catching prospect, is turning heads in the minors.
Back in April, I mused that because of the lack of a 2020 minor league season, the Houston Astros might not get top catching prospect Korey Lee up to the major leagues until 2023. But with his play so far this season, Lee could force the team’s hand much earlier than that.
Before the pandemic wiped out the minor league season last year, Lee had only appeared in 64 professional games after being drafted in the first round (32nd overall) in 2019.
