Nick Tanielu, Astros prospect currently with AAA Round Rock Express
Nick Tanielu was selected in the 14th round (406th overall) in the 2014 draft by the Astros from Washington State. He had a very productive Collegiate career, .364/.433/.506/.939 in 82 games with the Cougars, and was named to the Pac-12 All-Conference team after the 2014 season. His numbers were gaudy, but his lack of power from traditionally a power position and some defensive questions prevented him from being selected higher according to scouts and other sources.
This season he is batting .297, with 17 home runs, .514 SLG and .873 OPS. He plays third base, second base and first.
