Promoted to Double-A
Melton was promoted to Double-A Corpus Christi on Monday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact
Melton hit only .244 over 86 games with High-A Asheville, but he also recorded a .338 OBP, 18 home runs and 41 steals, so the Astros decided he was ready to move up another level.

Running wild at High-A
Melton is slashing .232/.337/.443 with 14 home runs and 30 steals in 62 games for High-A Asheville.
Impact
Melton turns 23 in September and is playing half his games in the extremely hitter-friendly park in Asheville, so this statistical output is essentially him meeting expectations. A physical and athletic 6-foot-3 outfielder, Melton brings an intriguing combination of power and speed to the table, and we should learn more about the viability of his hit tool once he starts facing age-appropriate pitching at Double-A.
