Astros’ Hidden Gem Brandon Nigh

Houston Astros just snagged a hidden gem: Brandon Nigh, a standout from Oakland University who went undrafted but lit up the Frontier League with a .342 batting average and OPS over 1.100—outpacing even Yordan Alvarez. After tearing it up in 24 games with the Boise Hawks, Nigh’s headed to Class-A Fayetteville to prove he can handle affiliated ball. His college accolades and this breakout season make him the first undrafted Oakland alum to sign a minor league deal since Mike Brosseau—a major win for the program and a promising sign for Astros’ future.
