The Houston Astros have secured the first overall pick next June and they already have Carlos Rodon on their radar.

Rodon is a left-handed pitcher out of North Carolina State.

The Astros took Puerto Rican shortstop Carlos Correa with the No. 1 pick in 2012 and Stanford pitcher Mark Appel with the first pick this year.

"Being the third year in a row doing it, we have experience, and our approach is we try to ID the top players in each category -- college hitters, high school hitters, college pitchers, high school pitchers," scouting director Mike Elias said. "We get the depth stacked up within each of those categories. Last year, we had Appel, [Sean] Manaea, but Jonathan Gray emerged later on."
