Luke Berryhill got things started by singing the National Anthem prior to the contest. Berryhill has been healing up through Spring Training to this point, but he’s talented enough to have more than one basket in which to keep his eggs.
Speaking of the Astros catching situation, the Spring Training backup competition was supposed to be between Yainer Diaz and Korey Lee. Berryhill was behind those two, but this CJ Stubbs guy has seemingly come out of nowhere. A 10th round draftee in 2019, Stubbs split last year between the High-A Asheville Tourists and the Double-A Corpus Christi Hooks.
