Astros: A Look Behind Jose Altuve’s Recent Struggles

When you think of Jose Altuve, you think of the MVP Award that he won in 2017. You think of the speedy contact hitter who turned into a five-tool player with power. While Charlie Morton may be the hero of Game 7 of the 2017 World Series, Altuve will be forever remembered as the guy who got the final out of the series. Last year, Altuve played hurt down the stretch and into October, had knee surgery the day after the Astros were eliminated.

Altuve is now the longest-tenured Astros player with Marwin Gonzalez moving on to the Twins this offseason.
