Throughout José Abreu’s MLB career, there have been two undeniable truths. The first one, he’s been one of baseball’s most productive and consistent men since his 2014 debut. The second one is that the high production level hasn’t been so visible in March/April or, say, the season's first weeks.
If you’re an Astros fan, maybe you’re panicking about the first baseman whom the Astros handed a three-year, $58.5 million contract this past offseason. After all, he’s hitting for a .239/.280/.282 slash line that is not a sign of either consistency, power, or high-quality hitting.
In simple words, I can say that Abreu is just in a slump to begin his Astros career.
