EDITORS NOTE:
I’ll be traveling this weekend, so there will be no updates after Friday. Regular updates should return on Monday (or Tuesday).
The All-Star break seems like a good time to provide an update on selected 2023 Draft Picks and introduce the first nine 2024 Draft Picks.
You can also check out our Future Astros Page where you can find more information including links to all 2023 picks stats and info.
And of course, yesterday we updated you on some of the 2023 picks and the first 9 picks of 2024:
