Can Yordan Álvarez go after Jeff Bagwell and make more history in 2020?

One of the most interesting stories we’ll be watching in 2020 is Yordan Álvarez. The reigning AL Rookie of the Year is entering his second season in the Major Leagues and will try to repeat what he did last year to break Jeff Bagwell’s records and make history again.

As I wrote last week, Bagwell owns the best marks in Astros history in terms of home runs and runs batted in during the first 60 games of any season. He hit 20 out of the park in 1999 and drove in 60 runs in 1996.
