Tyler White Could Win Rookie of the Year For the Astros

I knew after the 2015 Winter Leagues that Tyler White would not only play more than a full-time role this year for the Houston Astros, but he could also be the contact hitter that the Astros needed to improve production at first base. Everywhere he goes, all he does is make contact and put the ball in play. When you put the ball in play, it is more likely to find a hole or the ball to drop in the outfield. This was something that Chris Carter struggled with in his time with the Astros, just making contact in crucial situations.
