Ranked No. 8 overall by MLB Pipeline, the 21-year-old has done nothing but impress since he's become a professional, getting better and better as he's progressed throughout his career to the point where he is considered one of the best all-around hitters in the minors.

7/23/25	Brice Matthews Should Be Astros Starting Second Baseman Going Forward No Matter What. The Houston Astros have another star rookie. Following in the footsteps of Cam Smith -- who rocketed into stardom during spring training to make the Opening Day roster -- the Astros have another youngster who is beginning to look like a future foundational piece of this team going forward; Brice Matthews. Called up on July 11 for his Major League debut only because multiple infielders were hit with injuries, the current top-ranked prospect in Houston's pipeline is making his case to own the starting second base spot for the rest of the season. Predictably, Matthews was quiet when he first faced MLB pitching, going 0-for-7 in his first two games before collecting his first big league hit in the first contest following the All-Star break.

7/09/25	Astros Breakout Center Fielder Has Been Team's Unsung Hero This Season. The Houston Astros entered the 2025 season with numerous unknowns up and down their roster, meaning that the team would be relying on a number of new faces to step up if they wanted to continue dominating the AL West. Much of the media coverage surrounding the Astros' success has centered on the team's superb pitching and AL Rookie of the Year frontrunner, Cam Smith, but there has also been another largely unheralded name who has played just as big a role as anybody in getting the team to where it is now. This would be centerfielder Jake Meyers, who, now in his fifth year with the team, is putting together the best season yet of his career. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/astros/news/astros-breakout...

7/02/25	Houston Astros eyeing trade for dynamic Orioles outfielder at MLB trade deadline?. The Houston Astros are putting together another fabulous campaign in the 2025 season, sitting a comfortable seven games ahead of the Seattle Mariners in the AL West standings. But let's face it: The Astros could use some help in the outfield. And we're not saying that Cam Smith and Jake Meyers aren't pulling their weight, but a jolt in the Astros outfield as they still rearrange without having Kyle Tucker definitely wouldn't hurt. And with Astros general manager Dana Brown being very adamant about having a left-handed bat on his trade deadline shopping list, one name sticks out that fits both criteria and would make a lot of sense for the team. That name would be Baltimore Orioles outfielder Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/houston-astros...
