Shay Whitcomb Clubs Three Homers on Wednesday
Shay Whitcomb went 4-for-5 with three home runs and five RBI in Wednesday's 9-2 win over Triple-A Albuquerque. The 26-year-old has handled Triple-A pitching this season, slashing .264/.351/.574, and leads the league with 16 home runs. He pairs a double-digit walk rate with an average strikeout rate. Drafted in the fifth round in 2020, Whitcomb has been in the Astros system for a few years. If Whitcomb continues hitting at this sort of level, he could force his way into a role in the Houston infield sometime this summer. That would limit him to a deep league or AL-only type of player for now.
