One of the many storylines to watch with the Astros in 2020 is how the reigning Rookie of the Year does in his first full season in the majors. Yordan Alvarez was an absolute beast at the plate last year, and even though he will likely have some struggles along the way, he should still be plenty productive this season.
Alvarez told MLB.com’s Brian McTaggart that he worked on his agility in the offseason to prepare for the possibility of playing more outfield. He made only nine starts in the outfield with the Astros in 2019, compared to 74 starts at DH.
