Astros Top Prospect Brice Matthews Aims for Super Utility Role

Brice Matthews, arguably the Astros' top prospect in camp, is aiming for a super utility role in 2026. After a breakout college season and a 2024 pro campaign with 15 HRs and 32 SBs across three levels, he hit .283 with 10 HRs and 25 SBs in Triple-A 2025 before a brief MLB call-up. While his big league stint exposed swing-and-miss concerns (20 K in 42 ABs), he flashed impact power (4 HR) and versatility across the infield and outfield.
