Astros’ Bukauskas displays dominant stuff in AFL

Forrest Whitley, baseball’s best pitching prospect, has been the talk of the Arizona Fall League in the early season. But he’s not the lone Astros first-rounder who looks ready to make an impact at the big league level in the near future. Fellow right-hander J.B. Bukauskas, the 15th overall pick in 2017 out of North Carolina, also has dominant stuff. He put it on display Thursday afternoon, throwing four shutout innings to lead the Scottsdale Scorpions to an 8-0 victory over the Peoria Javelinas.
