22-year old righty swinging 2B Jose Altuve and 29-year old righty swinging outfielder Justin Maxwell are hitting the ball well so far this year for the Astros. Altuve has played in 6 games for the Astros so far this year and he is 8 for 24 (.333 avg, .760 OPS) with 2 RBIs. He has yet to score a run for the Astros in 2013. Maxwell has played in 6 games for the Astros so far this year and he is 8 for 21 (.381 avg, 1.054 OPS) with 5 runs scored, 1 double, 2 triples and 2 RBIs. The Astros are only hitting .199 with a .520 OPS as a team so far this year….and that’s just not going to get the job done. They have scored 17 runs, whiffed 74 times and they have only walked 9 times so far this year…..which is amazingly awful.
