Altuve seems to be back to swinging out of the zone a lot more this year, when last year his extra success was due to his much better discipline. Hopefully he figures it out.
Interestingly, his walk-rate is actually up a bit compared to last year, but his K-rate has skyrocketed. After striking out 70 times last year, he's on pace for 160ish if he has the same number of ABs this year. (last year, he walked 60 times and is on pace for 80ish this year) That said, he was showing some of this last year too in August and September when his numbers dropped compared to incredible first 4 months.
