## Resource

The Astros just pulled off a masterclass in draft strategy, adding 22 prospects—including top picks Logan Hughes and Wes Mendes—to fuel their farm system for 2026. With half their picks being pitchers and a focus on defense, they’re stacking talent while staying true to their developmental blueprint. Late-first-round gems? They’ve got a history of turning those into stars. Now, with a 47-51 record and a Wild Card shot on the line, the real test begins: watching these rookies grow into the next wave of Astros greatness.
