For the first two seasons of his major league career, George Springer showed flashes of brilliance. He also missed significant time due to injury. Astros fans wondered what sort of numbers he would put up if only he stayed healthy.
Springer answered those questions in 2016, playing in all 162 games. After a bit of a slow start, manager A.J. Hinch moved him to the leadoff spot, and both Springer and the team flourished as a result.
Springer totaled a career-high 29 home runs, 29 doubles and 86 RBIs.
