Who is Jadyn Fielder? Son of MLB star joins Astros after Lance McCullers Jr trade

Houston Astros acquired Jadyn Fielder from Milwaukee Brewers in trade for Lance McCullers Jr, Colton Gordon, and cash.

Jadyn Fielder is a 21-year-old left-handed hitting outfielder, son of six-time MLB All-Star Prince Fielder and grandson of three-time All-Star Cecil Fielder.

Fielder went undrafted in 2024, signed with Brewers, and played 48 rookie-level games in 2025 with a .268/.426/.870 slash line.

Trade was salary-related, reducing remaining cost of McCullers' five-year, $85 million contract extension.

Fielder attended TNXL Academy in Ocoee, Florida, and has played left field, second base, and designated hitter in minors.
