Astros Spotlight: Dean Deetz

The 24-year-old was drafted in the 11th round in 2014 by the Astros out of Northeastern Oklahoma A&M. He started the year out in High-A Quad City and moved his way up into Triple-A Fresno. He came up as a starter last year, but due to his 80 game PED suspension, he got moved to the bullpen. Deetz is one of the September call-ups alongside Grizzlies teammate J.D. Davis.

Scouting Report

The righty has an upper 90’s fastball and a power 10-4 spin slider that helped suggested he is primed for a bullpen role and he has always struggled with command and control issues.
