Astros select with the 32nd pick in the draft Korey Lee

On Monday night the Houston Astros made their first selection in the 2019 MLB Draft. With that selection they took Korey Lee a Catcher from the University of California. He was ranked 119th by MLB.com and 173 by Baseball America.

To Twitter for their reaction!

Yes, we ranked Korey Lee 173....we did hear some late helium....we may have underranked him. We talked about pushing him up in the rankings and decided to stick with the rankings....blame me on that one. — JJ Cooper (@jjcoop36) June 4, 2019
First time the Astros have taken a catcher in the first round since Jason Castro in 2008.
