Every year, there is one Astros hitting prospect whose call-up and major league debut is highly anticipated. In 2014, it was George Springer. In 2015, it was Carlos Correa. The following year, Alex Bregman made his way to Houston. Derek Fisher was the touted call-up of 2017. Last year, July 7 was “Ted day”, marking the debut of Kyle Tucker.
Yordan Alvarez is doing everything he can in Round Rock to ensure that 2019 belongs to him.
In 17 games, Alvarez is batting .339, with an astounding slugging percentage of .915, and an OPS of 1.366. He has 10 home runs and 26 RBI’s.
