Yordan Álvarez seems to be flawless at home plate. There’s not a single pitch that can’t be hit hard by him and there’s no way to avoid being intimidated when the big Astros left fielder is at the plate. In a season that projects to be the best of Álvarez’s young career, his stats say the 24-year-old keeps improving as a hitter as days go by, a reason why the Astros signed him to a mult-million contract extension days ago.
The Cuban-born phenom is having the streak of his life. In his last 10 games, he’s only gone hitless in two of them while registering 17 hits across 39 at-bats.
