Yulieski Gurriel, better known as “Yuli,” had an interesting first short season for the Houston Astros this year. On July 16 of this year, Gurriel signed a 5 year, $47.5 million deal for the organization and was quickly promoted to the major leagues after just 15 games across four different minor league teams.
One of the most interesting thing about Gurriel is his age, as he was a 32-year-old rookie this year for the team. Throughout the year he showed flashes of how good he can be on the Astros, so let’s take a look at his overall season.
