Astros' Entire Single-A Coaching Staff is 27 Years Old and That's Insane

Baseball is a sport that seems to just keep getting younger. Not only do we have young stars who aren't even old enough to have a beer making headlines on a daily basis, like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Juan Soto, but the sport's coaching staffs have been following suit. In recent years, young managers like Rocco Baldelli of the Twins (37) and Kevin Cash (41) have become the norm in the MLB.

Well, it seems as though the minor leagues are also following suit in this trend of youth. In fact, the Houston Astros' Short-Season Single-A coaching staff in particular is rather young.

That doesn't fully begin to cover it, though. Each and every member of the staff is 27 years old.

I mean, really, what are the odds of that? A less morbid 27 Club, everybody!

It's pretty crazy to think that these guys are coaching players that are typically only a few years younger than themselves. It's even crazier that all three of them are the same age. I mean, that had to be done on purpose, right?

All three of them played baseball in some form, but only hitting coach Sean Godfrey played affiliated ball, and never made it past the Double-A level. Manager Ozney Guillen (son of Ozzie) was drafted, but never signed, and pitching coach John Kovalik played in several independent leagues.

Clearly they are doing something right, because the Astros seemingly can't stop pumping out elite talent from their minor league system, so kudos to them. Maybe one day these three will find out they're actually long lost triplets?
