3. Jose Altuve, 2B, Houston Astros
Altuve wins my award for most fun to watch. He’s everywhere. He does everything. And he’s basically jockey-sized. I think he was the league’s MVP for the first half, hitting .341 with 14 of his 24 homers and 23 of his 30 stolen bases.
He slowed a little in the second half, all-around anyway, but still won the batting title with a .338 average, 20 points higher than Betts, who was second in the league. For me, Betts, Trout and Altuve were in a tier of their own.
