José Altuve has not had a good season so far. Through his first 30 games of 2020, he owns unrecognizable numbers: .206/.275/.317 with eight extra-base hits and 12 runs batted in. He’s recorded only 26 hits in 126 at-bats. But, hey, Altuve only cares about winning and he should get back to his standards sometime soon.
In fact, there have already been good signs. In the four-game span from August 19 to 22, the Venezuelan collected nine hits in 18 at-bats with three doubles. Unfortunately, after all those smacks, he got into a slump in which he’s 1-for-13 for the last four games.
