The Rookie League Greeneville Astros are the first Astros minor league team to start their playoffs, which are speeding along now that they are facing their next opponent, the Princeton Rays. This is a short season league that began shortly after the MLB Draft. They have only played 63 games, but one of their players had a good season in his second year in the minors.

Connor Goedert, in his first full season since being drafted out of Neosho County Community College, is playing first base for the Astros after playing third base for the GCL Astros and Greeneville Astros in 2014.
