The outfielder has worked hard to earn his success

Jake Meyers, who had to fight for every bit of playing time his first three seasons in the big leagues, is the Astros' 2021 Minor League Player of the Year. The outfielder has worked hard to earn his success, and he is now one of the top prospects in the organization.

Meyers was a standout player at the University of Nebraska before being drafted by the Astros in the second round of the 2017 MLB Draft. He spent the next three seasons in the minors, where he worked his way up the ranks. In 2021, Meyers played for the Sugar Land Skeeters, the Astros' Triple-A affiliate. He hit .304 with 15 home runs and 58 RBIs in 93 games.

Meyers' success in the minors has earned him a call-up to the Astros. He made his MLB debut in August and has since become a regular in the team's outfield. Meyers is a versatile player who can play all three outfield positions. He is also a good hitter and has shown some power. The Astros are excited about Meyers' potential, and they believe he can be a valuable contributor to the team in the years to come.
