Jose Altuve is one of the best hitters in all of baseball. We now look at his tiny profile.

Jose Altuve had an incredible break out season in 2014. He was considered one of the best hitters in all of baseball. He also had some stunning plays. Jose led the American League in hits, batting average, and stolen bases. For his accomplishments he got a place on the all-star game. He even passed Craig Biggio to become the Houston Astros franchise leader in hits in a single season. But this star almost didn’t make it to the big leagues. At the Astros training Camp a few years ago, Jose tried out for the team. They turned him down because he was considered too small at only 5’6”. They told him not to come the next day. He was upset but his parents made him go back the next day. He was signed to the the team.  The Astros would never regret that. Jose Altuve would end up being one of the best players in all of baseball. Jose is also a threat on the base paths. You can’t forget that he can steal, too. He led the American League in stolen bases. Plus, Jose has a great glove and can dive at certain times to prevent a run from scoring.

Before the all-star break, Jose was a weak power hitter and rarely hit home runs. After the break, Jose upped his strength and hit almost double the amount that he had before the break. In conclusion, Jose Altuve is really amazing and has the guts to play hard.
