Astros Prospect Spotlight: Catcher Garrett Stubbs look to prove he is a legitimate prospect

The trade of switch-hitting Tyler Heineman shows that the Astros have trust in their current catcher depth. With veteran Juan Centeno, and former top prospect Max Stassi both at Fresno, and twins Brian McCann and Evan Gattis holding down the fort in Houston, the team is deep at the position. However, it is the California kid in Corpus Christi that has the organization excited.

23 year old Garrett Stubbs was an 8th round pick of the Astros in 2015.

After playing high school ball in San Diego, the left-handed catcher took his talents to play college ball at The University of South California.
