Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve has built his reputation upon being a hit machine, but he took things to another level during the 2016 season.
After needing 2,932 plate appearances between 2011-15 to hit 36 home runs and post a cumulative Isolated Power (ISO) of .110, it took him just 717 trips to the plate to launch 24 balls over the wall, while finishing with a career-high .194 ISO last year.
This led to career highs in a number of different areas on his stat sheet, with his 6.7 fWAR and third-place finish in AL MVP voting jumping off the page.
