Related Topics: Spring training, American League

Altuve said last week he did the voiceover during Spring Training in Kissimmee, Fla., for an episode in which the big leaguers appear to help a group of youths fine-tune their baseball skills.

The 26-year-old Altuve is coming off the best season of his career and was named the team's Most Valuable Player by the Houston chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America. He's also expected to be in the hunt for the American League Most Valuable Player Award after leading the AL with a .338 batting average and the Majors with 216 hits, along with a career-high 24 homers, 96 RBIs and 30 steals.
