Carlos Correa Fantasy

The Houston Astros signed second baseman J.C. Correa, the younger brother of shortstop Carlos Correa, to a $20,000 deal (the maximum) as an undrafted free agent. The younger Correa had been taken by Houston in the later rounds of the last two drafts, but this year's draft was only five rounds because of the coronavirus pandemic. He hit .245 in 14 games as a senior for Lamar University before the season was shut down. Correa led his team with a .332 batting average, 10 home runs and 44 RBI in 2019. He played all around the infield in his time at Lamar, but the Astros are listing him as a second baseman.

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts in the team's 7-2 loss to the Nationals in Game 6 of the World Series. Correa also stranded three runners in the game as strikeouts continue to plague his postseason. He now has punched out eight times through 24 at-bats in the World Series and 26 times through 64 postseason at-bats. Correa struggled with injuries all season and is slugging only .375 in the playoffs. He has been able to pop the occasional home run but will need to step up offensively with Game 7 looming on Wednesday night.

Correa was extremely patient in game four, and he ended up working three walks in five at-bats. For a guy that sported just a 10.9% BB rate, Correa stepped up and did what was necessary to get this win. He's been hot this entire postseason and they'll need him for these last two wins. It'll be tough in game 5 as Max Scherzer takes the mound. With that said, they have their own warrior in Gerrit Cole taking the hill.
