Former UH catcher Chris Wallace was taken in the 16th Round in last month's draft. The surprising part? He didn't think he'd go that early:
“I wasn’t really sure what was going to happen. I thought I was going to be drafted in the later rounds, so when I was taken in the 16th round, it was really a surprise because I didn’t think I would be taken that early. I grew up watching the Astros and I have always wanted to play for them. Now I have that opportunity, and it’s a dream come true.”
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
