In today’s Astros Minor League update, we take a look at the Quad Cities River Bandits. The Low-A minor league affiliate has been a great springboard for the Astros vaunted prospect parade over the last couple of years. While rising stars, Joe Musgrove and Derek Fisher have recently been promoted to Lancaster in high-A ball, there is still plenty of talent getting off to a great start in their professional careers playing in the Quad Cities.
Jacob Nottingham, the catcher/1B/DH for the River Bandits, is the top offensive prospect on the team.
