WATCH: Carlos Correa’s Brother Drops Exciting New Video In ‘Machete’ Maldonado Gloves Ahead Of Houston Astros Catcher Debut

Carlos Correa may be taking all the headlines, but his family isn’t too far behind. His younger brother, JC Correa recently posted a video to his personal Instagram. Featuring the player gearing up as the catcher on the Houston Astros, the video sees Correa even getting some hitting practice in the cage.

The prospect was drafted by the Houston outfit in 2020 and has spent some time in the minors. Continuing his growth, the video sees Correa sporting Martin Maldonado’s catching gloves for a session. The Astros prospect seems ready to perform for the 2022 season if he gets a chance in the majors.

JC Correa’s video

Netizens were looking to the Astros’ twitter-verse to gain some information regarding their star shortstop but instead were given a look at his younger brother. JC Correa has been featuring for minor league affiliates of the Astros since he was drafted in 2020. Metrics show him featuring and performing in a variety of positions in the infield.

However, he seems to have found some permanency from behind home plate. The video also features Correa sporting Astros gear as he takes to some practice as catcher. Featuring fellow Puerto Rican on the Astros, Martin Maldonado, the catcher will have found able guidance from the 35 year old catcher. His ‘Machete’ glove will grace the catcher behind the home plate.

JC Correa will undoubtedly be a part of the Astros’ plan moving forward from here. But fans will be awaiting his brothers decision with bated breaths.

Carlos Correa – A big decision

Carlos Correa and his free agency decision have dominated discussions. Even more so perhaps because of the lockout. One of the few available shortstops on the market, Correa now will plan on where he goes in the future and is likely to sign a blockbuster deal once the lockout is over.

While several teams are after Correa to secure his services, his final choice still remains uncertain. The New York Yankees and the Chicago Cubs looked to be frontrunners initially, but that has since changed.

The hiring of Scott Boras may have pushed the Cubs lower down the order and for several Astros fans, the super agent’s recent comments have been encouraging. However, with the Dodgers lurking around the corner nothing can be certain. Recent reports have also deemed the Nationals to be in the run to sign the shortstop.

Correa certainly seems to be talk of the town and with good reason. And while Correa’s future remains uncertain, his brother certainly seems to be making inroads at the Astros. If he keeps on the path, the majors don’t seem too far off.
