JOSE ALTUVE NEWS

Singles twice, steals Altuve went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in a 3-2 loss Wednesday in Arizona.

Impact Altuve singled to lead off the first and sixth innings but was left stranded in both cases. It was the second stolen base of the year for the seven-time All-Star. After recording only one hit in his first four games, the multi-hit performance is a hopeful sign moving forward. He has now reached base safely twice in consecutive games.

Goes deep in win Altuve went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in a 13-6 victory over the Angels on Friday.

Impact Altuve set the tone with a leadoff home run and later knocked in the go-ahead run in the fifth inning. It's encouraging to see the former MVP on track following a lackluster opening day performance as he looks to surpass a career-high-tying 31 home runs in 2021.

Swipes base early Altuve went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's win over the Angels.

Impact Altuve delivered a largely unremarkable Opening Day line, as he struck out three times. However, he made the most of his lone time on base by recording his first steal of the season. This is notable given the decline in Altuve's stolen base attempts in recent seasons, coupled with his claim that he planned to run more in 2022. While Opening Day performances aren't always a sign of things to come, it certainly seems possible that Altuve will reach double-digit stolen bases this season for the first time since 2018.

Intends to run more Altuve plans on stealing more bases this season, Jim Bowden of The Athletic reports.

Impact Players claiming they're about to steal more bases is nearly as common a spring trope as the classic "best shape of my life" line. Altuve's bat hasn't dipped too far from his peak levels, but he's stolen a total of just 13 bases over the last three years, a low number for someone who had six straight seasons with over 30 steals earlier in his career, with a personal best of 56 in 2014. His sprint speed dropped from the 89th percentile in 2020 to the 72nd percentile last year, however, so it's probably unwise to project him for many more than the five bases he stole in 2021.
