Bryan Abreu

Bryan Enrique Abreu (born April 22, 1997) is a Dominican professional baseball pitcher for the Houston Astros of Major League Baseball (MLB). Abreu signed with the Astros as an international free agent in 2013, and made his major league debut in 2019.

Bryan Abreu was born in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. At age 13, he worked in construction and assisted an uncle, a mechanic, in repairing cars. Tall and notably athletic, the first sport Abreu began playing was basketball, and when he was 14, began playing baseball. It was at age 14 that his mother suggested that he choose a sport on which to focus, and Abreu chose baseball.

Abreu signed with the Houston Astros as an international free agent in November 2013. He made his professional debut in 2014 with the Dominican Summer League Astros, going 0–2 (win–loss record, W–L) with a 6.55 earned run average over 22 relief innings pitched.

Starting in 2014 and throughout his professional baseball career in the Houston Astros organization, Abreu has worked extensively with pitching coach Erick Abreu, who has also served in various levels within the Astros' minor league system.

Bryan Abreu returned to the Dominican Summer League Astros in 2015, earning a 2–2 record and a 3.83 earned run average over 14 games (ten starts). In 2016, he began the year with the Greeneville Astros before being reassigned to the Gulf Coast League Astros. Over 38+23 innings, he went 2–5 with a 4.89 earned run average.

In 2017, Abreu returned to Greeneville and compiled a 1–3 record with a 7.98 earned run average in eight games (six starts), and in 2018, he pitched for both the Tri-City ValleyCats and the Quad Cities River Bandits, going 6–1 with a 1.49 earned run average over 14 games (seven starts). The Astros added Abreu to their 40-man roster after the 2018 season.

In 2019, he began the year with the Fayetteville Woodpeckers before being promoted to the Corpus Christi Hooks, with whom he was named a Texas League All-Star.

On July 31, 2019, the Astros promoted Abreu to the major leagues. He made his major league debut that night, pitching a scoreless inning in relief. The following day, he was optioned back to Double-A Corpus Christi. In 2020, Abreu struggled with accuracy, walking seven batters and hitting two in 3+13 innings before being optioned off the roster.
