Astros Sign Carlos Correa's Brother
4 years agoThe Houston Astros signed second baseman J.C. Correa, the younger brother of shortstop Carlos Correa, to a $20,000 deal (the maximum) as an undrafted free agent. The younger Correa had been taken by Houston in the later rounds of the last two drafts, but this year's draft was only five rounds because of the coronavirus pandemic. He hit .245 in 14 games as a senior for Lamar University before the season was shut down. Correa led his team with a .332 batting average, 10 home runs and 44 RBI in 2019. He played all around the infield in his time at Lamar, but the Astros are listing him as a second baseman.
