2026 Top Prospect Lists

Dana Brown’s background is scouting. He better be good at this drafting thing.

The Athletic’s top 20 Astros Prospects-
Brice Matthews
Ethan Pecko (if not for missing two months - he would be #1)
Xavier Neyens
Ethan Frey - (Sleeper - Frey might be one of the steals of the 2025 draft. He also might hit his way to the majors before I even get to put him on the top 100, given how aggressive the Astros can be with college guys.)
Joseph Sullivan
Walker Janek
AJ Blubaugh
Bryce Mayer (Slider gets a Yesavage comp)
Alonzo Tredwell
Jackson Nezuh
Miguel Ullola
Lucas Spence
Kevin Alvarez
Ryan Forcucci
Cole Hertzler
Alimber Santa (let the pun begin - “Santa delivers sliders, more than fastballs, as it turns out, and if he could find the correct chimney every now and then, he’d be a competent big-league reliever.”)
Anthony Huezo
Nick Monistere
Jase Mitchell
Will Bush

Bolded names are specifically mentioned as having possible MLB impact this year.

Thanks for report Duman. You have to figure Ullola’s time as a SP is close to coming to an end. Hope he figures it out otherwise he’ll be making a move to the pen, NTTAWWT.
