Good Pitching, Bad Hitting: The 2025 Astros So Far

Related Topics: Jake Meyers, Houston Astros

We’re only twelve games into the Astros’ season, so it's still too early to draw hard conclusions about this roster. Not even two weeks’ worth of games. I mean, Yordan Alvarez and Christian Walker will eventually hit better than they have at the start of the campaign. The lineup as a whole will start hitting again.

Whether this will be regarded as a “good” lineup is another question, however. Only Jose Altuve, Jake Meyers, and Brendan Rodgers have a wRC+ over 100, which is roughly league average. Altuve is the sole hitter on the team with a wRC+ exceeding 115 (166).
