The Houston Astros' Top Prospect Rewards the Team with an Extra Pick in the MLB Draft
The Astros' top prospect, Hunter Brown, has earned a significant reward for his impressive performance. According to Joe Trezza of MLB.com, the team will receive the 28th pick in the MLB Amateur Draft as a result of Brown's top-3 finish in the AL Cy Young Award voting. This is a substantial bonus for the Astros, as it provides them with an additional opportunity to select a highly touted player.
But here's where it gets interesting: this pick is in addition to the Astros' first-round selection, which already has a chance (albeit a slim one) to be among the top 6 picks in the MLB Draft Lottery. This means the Astros have a potential double shot at securing a top-tier talent in the draft.
