You won’t find Jack Mayfield‘s name on a list of the Astros‘ top prospects. He wasn’t an early draft pick or a big-time signing. At age 27, he’s unlikely to develop into a perennial All-Star. The infielder, though, continues to climb through the ranks.
He’s also the subject of this season’s first installment of the Astros Triple-A spotlight, thanks to his strong start to the 2018 campaign.
The Stats
Mayfield joined the Astros as a minor league free agent in 2013. Since then, he’s worked his way steadily up the ladder.
