Astros By the Numbers

Wonder if HINCH!!! will ever revisit the Springer-Altuve-Reddick-Correa top of the order. That seemed to work.

 

It did work. But I dont think that is the problem.

Article is about Springer having the biggest improvement in contact rate since 2002. Nothing earthshattering, but didn't know he had the biggest improvement.

 

George was 13 in 2002, so I imagine his contact rate has improved quite a bit since then.
