Did Bagwell clear that mark? I don’t remember him being that tall.

He’s a hero for guys like me who are under the 6-foot mark. You're still above average. TMI. |

Bagwell was listed right at 6'0. Which means probably 5'10.

Coming back home, Altuve is now:
1st in Hits
3rd in AVG
7th in position player WAR
1st in Games
Mike Trout though....Jebus. On pace for:
134 Runs
51 HR
34 SB
99 RBI (Surprisingly low for 51 HRs)
142 BBs
1.100+ OPS
14+ WAR (For comparison, Altuve won the MVP last year with an 8.3 WAR...)

Don't worry. Trout will get a pimple on his ass and spend a month on the DL soon.

The only major injury he has had since joining the majors was a broken finger and he still played 114 games. No reason to believe he'll miss any significant time.

Altuve showed an encouraging sign by improving his average exit velocity in May to 89.2mph from 86.5 mph in April. This suggests he may be putting to rest his "Warning Track Power" problem. In fact, only two other Astros hitters smacked the ball harder on a consistent basis in May: Bregman (90 mph) and Stassi (92 mph).
With his on-base skills, adding power creates a big threat for opposing pitchers.

I still say he should throw in some bunts now and then just to keep people guessing. And I'm hoping that his less attempts to steal than normal will equate to maintaining a higher success rate. (20-25 steals at 80+% success would be just great.)

Altuve Current Projected Stats:
10 HR 76 RBI 89 Runs 21 SBs 219 Hits 39 Doubles 5 Triples .332/.377/.455 138 OPS+ 6.7 WAR (89% success rate on steals)
What's interesting is that all of his percentages are better with runners on base in any capacity, but he's still only on pace for 76 RBI. They're even better than his numbers from 2017. Course, he's on pace for 14 HR less than his new normal which would bump him up to 90.

10 HR 78 RBI 94 Runs 23 SBs 223 Hits 38 Doubles 5 Triples .338/.384/.458 139 OPS+ 7.0 WAR (90% success rate on steals)
His best numbers are typically in June and July before he starts to wear down in August. Considering AVG and hit total-wise he's actually a little better than he normally is at this point (including last year), he could potentially have his best hit total yet this season. It's just not with as much power. He had his 225 Hits in 2014 (most in a season). At this time that year he was at: .315/.353/.423.
At this time last year he was at: .322/.392/.512

Probably nobody cares at this point, but I still like tracking his projections for me, so suck it.
12 HR 82 RBI 97 Runs 24 SB 225 Hits 39 Doubles 5 Triples .342/.388/.471 (.859 OPS) 143 OPS+ 7.0 WAR (80% success rate on steals)
At this point last year:
.317/.386/.504 (.890 OPS) 7 HR 15 Doubles 11 SB 32 RBI
Really the only thing that is down from last year to this point is the HR total. He has more doubles, runs, RBIs, and hits this year, and one less SB.

Altuve's current pace this year is almost identical to Tony Gwynn's 162 game average:
Altuve: .338/.388.465 10 HR 82 RBI 99 Runs 23 SB
Gwynn: .338/.388/.459 9 HR 76 RBI 92 Runs 21 SB

Updated pace: 15 HR 83 RBI 104 Runs 224 Hits 43 Doubles 23 SB .347/.401/.495 .896 OPS 155 OPS+ 7.8 WAR do you think he will outperform his current pace and finish with at least 20 HRs/30SBs. |

I think he can end up with more than 15 HR but I don't know about 20 unless he really goes on a power tear over the next month and a half. To be honest, I'm not even sure he'll reach 25 SBs. He isn't running as much and said he wouldn't be stealing as much. He also, if my memory correct, tends to slow down the last part of the season even when he is running more. I would say he ends at 16 HR and 21 SB. In his favor is our weaker opponent schedule here on out. He could have his best overall offensive year in regards to hits, AVG, and Doubles (maybe OBP). I know he is on pace for 43 Doubles, but I feel like he could bump that closer to 50, and if he has another really good July, I think he could top .350 in AVG for the year. His weakest month by far is August (and then September). Hopefully the lesser amount of running will help him stay hotter longer. |
