The Astros traded away Jed Lowrie this morning, pinning the entire return on one player. Brendan McCurry is a 23-year-old right-handed reliever who was drafted in 2014. What do we know about him?
Background
A Tupelo, Oklahoma native, McCurry went to Roff High School, where he was an all-state selection his senior year. The right-hander hit .510 and led the state in home runs with 26 in his senior season. He was a two-way player in high school and drew interest from big-name schools, but attended a junior college for two years instead of signing with a four-year school right away.
