Astros Prospect Anthony Huezo Embarks on Breakout Season with 20-40 Stats Anthony Huezo, the Astros’ No. 10 prospect, has joined an exclusive group of Minor Leaguers by achieving a 20-home-run, 40-stolen-base season, a feat accomplished by only five players across the past two years. Among them are Konnor Griffin, Joshua Báez, Eric Hartman, and Theo Gillen, all of whom have either reached the majors or are listed on MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 prospects. Huezo, a 12th-round pick in 2023, has flown under the radar despite his recent surge, becoming the fifth player in history to reach this milestone. Huezo’s breakout season reached a new high last Wednesday when he hit his 20th home run, but his dominance continued with two additional long balls in the following days. His performance culminated in a standout three-hit game on Sunday, where he contributed to a 7-2 loss for High-A Asheville against Frederick at Nymeo Field at Harry Grove Stadium. The game highlighted his offensive prowess, as he recorded a leadoff double, another double, and a run scored in the sixth inning. His seventh-inning home run—a deep drive to right-center field—marked his third round-tripper in his past four games, pushing his season total to 22. Despite being in his third full season in the Minor Leagues, Huezo remains just 20 years old, and his 2025 campaign has been his healthiest yet. Across 104 games at two levels, he has posted a .262 batting average with a .859 OPS, complemented by 22 home runs, 72 RBIs, and 43 stolen bases. His performance in a 33-game stretch at High-A—his longest tenure at that level—has been particularly impressive, where he maintained a .865 OPS, showcasing his ability to adapt and thrive in higher competition.#mlb_pipeline #astros #anthony_huezo #high_a_asheville #nymeo_field_at_harry_grove_stadium
