While the Astros' talent pool runs deep, arguably no one has made a bigger rookie impre sion than lvarez. His .313/.412/.655 slash line was the best among AL rookies, while his 178 wRC+ mark was second best among batters with a minimum of 350 plate appearances, second behind only Mike Trout.
lvarez finished with a 3.8 fWAR, the highest of any rookie in the American League. Whichevermetric you'd like to use, lvarez's impact was felt on the Astros in his first year, adding a much-needed lefty power bat to the lineup. But more than his bat, his brain and approachplayed a big part inhis rookie succe s.
"His balance that he brings. His reaction to succe s. Lucas Johansen Jersey His reactions to failure. How he's blended in on a pretty polished veteran-driven team has been nothing short of amazing," Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. "... But I think it's about his preparation and his ability to absorb all of that on the biggest stage in the highest league in the world."
Hinch cited fellow countrymen on the team and noted how Houston's winning culture made it easier for the 22-year-old to fit in. Even through the ideal circumstances, lvarez's mentality hasn't just impre sed his manager, but his Christian Djoos Jersey teammates, too including his former Ilya Samsonov Jersey AL MVP cohort.
"I think what impre sed me the most is how smart and smooth he is," Jos Altuve said."He came in big situations during the season and he acted normal. He was like he's been there before.
"His approach, his mentality, everything about him is so good. What I like a lot about him is how hard he works and how humble he is, that's huge for him."
To Altuve's point, lvarez came up big in clutch situations during the regular season, hitting .344 with runners in scoring position, withsix homeruns and 50 RBIs. With the pre sure ratcheted up with two outs and RISP, the big Cuban hit .316 with two home runs, albeit in limited situations.
Whatever the situation, lvarez proved his value in an already stacked Houston lineup.
So if you see a Dodgers fan today, Braden Holtby Jersey give them a big hug and thank them for the 2019 SN AL Rookie of the Year.
