Jacob Melton Has Opportunity To Make Impact For Astros
37 seconds agoMLB.com's Brian McTaggart mentions outfielders Jacob Melton and Zach Dezenzo as having real opportunities to make an impact at the major-league level in 2025 for the Houston Astros. Per MLB Pipeline, Melton is the club's No. 2 prospect, while Dezenzo checks in at No. 6. Melton could push to make the team out of spring training, while Dezenzo will compete to make the team this spring, primarily as a left fielder. The 24-year-old Melton made it up to Triple-A Sugar Land in 2024 and hit a combined .253/.310/.426 with 15 homers, 54 RBI and 30 stolen bases combined at Sugar Land and Double-A Corpus Christi in 105 total games. He has intriguing power/speed skills and could become a fantasy asset sooner than later, but Dezenzo has a much better shot at playing time early in the year after making his MLB debut in 2024 and playing in 19 games.
