## Resource

Houston’s farm system may be thin, but new talent is rising fast—pitcher Miguel Ullola made a strong MLB debut after transitioning to relief, while young guns like Kevin Alvarez (Top 100 at 71) and Xavier Neyens (90) are turning heads in Single-A. Ethan Pecko, ranked seventh, dominates in Triple-A and could be next up. The Astros’ rebuild might just be getting its first real signs of life.
