The 2013 season is behind us and I'm checking how picks 21 to 32 of the 2009 draft did this season. Traditionally players drafted out of college advance faster than those drafted out of high school and pitchers usually advance faster than position players. Some players might also be traded to help their team get an established player that can help their team improve immediately.
The Houston Astros drafted shortstop Jiovanni Mier 21st out of Bonita High School in La Verne, CA. He played in 2013 at Double A Corpus Christi. He hit .194/.293/.265 with 5 HR, 28 RBI, 44 R, 9 SB in 104 games.
