It is no secret. The Houston Astros‘ farm system has been one of the most low ranked systems by any news outlet. But with another season nearing an end, MLB Pipeline has updated all major-league teams including where the Astros now stand.
To start, the organization now has zero prospects among the Top 100, as their sole representative, Forrest Whitley, has fallen out. The right-hander was shut down after Tommy John surgery this season, as a slew of concerns have halted his progressions over the years. In March, there were a few adjustments to the Top 30, but these did not include the effects from the 2021 MLB Draft.
