HOUSTON -- The Houston Astros have signed second baseman J.C. Correa, getting
the brother of star shortstop Carlos Correa on the third try.

The Astros signed the younger Correa for $20,000, the maximum allowed for an
undrafted free agent.

Houston had picked Correa in the later rounds of the previous two drafts.
This year's draft was drastically cut to only five rounds because of the
coronavirus pandemic.

Correa hit .245 in 14 games as a senior for Lamar University this year before
the season was shortened by the virus. In 2019, he led the Texas school with
a .332 batting average, 10 home runs and 44 RBIs.

Correa played all over the infield for Lamar. The Astros announced his
signing on Friday and listed him as a second baseman.

The Astros lost their first- and second-round picks this year as part of the
penalty issued by Major League Baseball for their sign-stealing scandal.

休士頓太空人隊已經簽下了二壘手J.C. Correa，在三顧茅廬後終於得到這位明星游擊手
Carlos Correa的弟弟。

簽約金為2萬鎂，為落選球員簽約的最高金額。

球團在前兩次的選秀以較後面的順位選了他，而今年的選秀由於疫情的關係大幅縮減至五
輪。

Correa今年在Lamar University就讀大四，在武肺迫使球季縮短之前，14場的出賽繳出了
.245的打擊率。在2019年，他以.332的打擊率，外加10轟44打點領跑全德州。

Correa在Lamar守內野，太空人隊在星期五宣布簽下他並且將其登錄為二壘手。

太空人隊因為偷暗號的事件遭到聯盟處罰，喪失了今年一、二輪的選秀權。
