Korey Lee, Houston’s first round pick from a year ago, was a late addition to the Astros reserve camp at Whataburger Field. In 2019, Lee hit .338 with 27 extra-base hits, 57 RBIs and a 1.045 OPS in 51 games during his junior campaign at Cal. Boasting a powerful arm behind the plate, the San Diego native threw out 44% of runners attempting to steal for the Golden Bears. After signing with Houston, Lee played in 64 games for Tri-City of the short-season New York-Penn League. He is listed by MLB Pipeline as a top-5 prospect in the Astros system. Nick Tanielu (18:33), a member of the Astros 2020 postseason player pool, saw action in 125 ballgames for the Round Rock Express last year, slugging 39 doubles, 19 home runs while driving in 84 runs as the E-Train reached the PCL finals. A career .295 hitter, Tanielu has logged four full seasons in the minors, helping his teams win 60% of their games. MLB.com's Brian McTaggart (37:25), now in his 17th season covering the Houston Astros, provides an update on the big club as we approach the final weekend of the regular season.
