In the 30th round, the Astros grabbed Sean McMullen, and outfielder out of LSU.
McMullen is listed at 5-8, a stocky 188lbs, and served as an outfielder/DH at LSU. He is a senior, having recently graduated. He was a 2013 SEC Academic Honour Roll recipient, and was named to the 2013 SEC All-Tournament team. Prior to that, he was a 2012 JUCO All-Ameria and All-Conference selection. He is originally out of Brother Martin High School in New Orleans.
His cousin is Will Clark, MLB All-Star.
His LSU bio lists him as an "advanced hitter with a lot of pop in his bat and excellent speed". Bio out of LSU does not seem to have been updated to include the 2014 season - I will keep hunting. McMullen received the LSU's male Scholar Athlete Award in 2014. He was a team-mate of first-rounder, Aaron Nola.
He hit a crucial 2-run home run to win the SEC Championship over Florida. His triple-slash for 2014: .288/.390/.507, 7HR, 37BB versus 33K.
He majored in Kinesiology, so probably also has an interest in sports medicine and training.
He is on twitter, and obviously likes skydiving.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
