Astros Agree To Terms With First-Rounder J.B. Bukauskas

Posted Jul 6, 2017
The Houston Astros have agreed to terms with first-round pick J.B. Bukauskas. Bukauskas was a top draft prospect out of high school in 2014, though he fell to the 20th round after asking teams not to select him. The former UNC right-hander is in Houston to complete his physical and sign his contract. Baseball America calls his slider “the nation’s best breaking pitch." (MLB Trade Rumors)
