Drafted in the 30th round (916th overall) by the Houston Astros in 2019 (signed for $1,000).
Scouting Reports
Horrell was a late-round (30th) find out of Campbell. The Astros shared Campbell's stadium in Buies Creek, N.C., while waiting for their Fayetteville stadium to be built. Out of that, they ended up drafting Matthew Barefoot (16th on this list) and Horrell. A senior sign, Horrell has moved quickly because of one above-average pitch. Horrell's cutter has enough movement that he can throw it again and again. He's a pure reliever profile, but one who is moving quickly, having just gotten a promotion to Double-A Corpus Christi.
