Astros pitching prospect Dustin Kellogg was killed Tuesday when his truck was hit head-on by an 18-wheeler.
"We are deeply saddened by the news of Dustin's passing" Houston general manager Ed Wade said in a statement. "Although he had only been an Astros player for a short time, we share the pain of his family. Our prayers go out to Dustin's loved ones." Kellogg, 18, was a 34th round pick in this year's First-Year Player Draft out of Caney Creek (Texas) High School. Kellogg pitched in six games for the Astros' Gulf Coast League club, producing a 1-1 record, a 4.26 ERA and nine strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings. "It's extremely tragic news," Astros assistant general manager/director of scouting Bobby Heck said. "Not even from an Astros standpoint, but just from a young person starting his life and starting his career, whether it's baseball or anything else."

Terrible news for such a young player!!
