Jose Altuve is the best pound-for-pound home run hitter in the world right now.
His seven homers aren't the most in the young 2019 Major League Baseball season. Khris Davis (10), Cody Bellinger (9), Christian Yelich (9), Joc Pederson (8) and Jay Bruce (8) have him beat. Paul Goldschmidt and Marcell Ozuna are tied with him.
What those guys have in common, however, is the same thing that almost all MLB players have in common: They're bigger than the Houston Astros second baseman.
Standing in slack-jawed wonder at the unlikely juxtaposition of Altuve's extraordinary numbers and his diminutive 5'6", 165-pound frame is admittedly anachronistic.
