History

The Astros were presented in February 2019 as a joint effort between the government of the State of Jalisco and Grupo Multimedios, a media conglomerate. [4]

The Astros were one of the three new teams that debuted in the 2019–20 LNBP season, the other two were the Dorados de Chihuahua and the Plateros de Fresnillo. [5]

On July 12, 2022, Astros won its first CIBACOPA championship in its debut season in the league, after beating Rayos de Hermosillo 91–87 in the sixth game of the final. [6] The Astros' American guard Javion Blake was named the Finals MVP. [7]
