Scouting outlets have all made their postseason updates at this point, and they seem to agree on the upper tiers of the Astros farm system- Jacob Melton, Luis Baez, Spencer Arrighetti, Brice Matthews and Zach Dezenzo are a consensus top 5, and they’re typically followed by some combination of Joey Loperfido, Alonzo Tredwell, Kenedy Corona, Zach Cole, Andrew Taylor, Will Wagner and Colin Barber. With the exception of Baez and the club’s top 2023 draft picks, all of these players have a relatively high experience level and established profiles. At some point in 2024, it’s likely we’ll see some less seasoned players make strides and challenge these positions.
