As the Astros construct their 2026 team over the off-season, their assessment of promising rookies’ performances will be an important input. A.J. Blubaugh is one of the more promising 2025 rookie pitchers. His 2025 pitching at the major league level definitely showed promise. But the sample size is small (32 innings) and his potential role […]

Acquired from Cleveland in the Myles Straw trade, his debut in 2023 seemed like the Astros had stumbled onto the second coming of Johnny Bench. He’s gotten steadily worse every year.
