The Astros’ farm system has refused to slow down under Jeff Luhnow, and in 2019 there are several players with potential for big rises from their current standings. Here is a look at a few names that could improve their stock significantly during the upcoming season.
Ross Adolph, OF, Age 22
Coming from humble beginnings in Ohio prep ball, Adolph has had a meandering path to the pro game, including multiple surgeries that hampered his natural athleticism and on-field results. In 2018 he experienced a breakout with Toledo in NCAA ball, hitting .332/.445/.654 and pacing the MAC with 15 home runs.
