Jose Altuve's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve wasted no time Friday night by popping a leadoff solo home run on the first pitch of the game off of Jose Quintana while pitching in another hit in a 7-2 loss to the New York Mets. Altuve had never hit Quintana well in his career so the first-pitch fishing comes to no surprise as the 34-year-old veteran is one of the most notorious first-pitch hitters. Tonight's game being Altuve's 80th game of the season puts him well on pace to pass his 17 home run total that he had last season due to only playing in 90 games because of a broken hand. The pesky Venezuelan is hitting .304 and continues to thrive at the top of the Astros lineup.

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve was once again solid at the plate during Wednesday's game against the Colorado Rockies.

The 34-year-old has been hot with a .365 batting average with three home runs and 13 RBI over his last 15 games. Fantasy managers should make sure to keep Altuve in their lineups while he's hot at the plate.
