Astros Early Spring Training Stat Roundup
Baseball is back and the Astros opened up their 2019 Grapefruit League schedule over the weekend with 5 games now in the books including Monday and Tuesday. Most of the top prospects now have some dirt in their spikes, so it’s a good time to roundup some stats. Of course it’s still too early to judge, but the young pitchers have looked great in each of their first times out on the mound while the young hitters have just been ok in their first few at bats.
HITTERS
Kyle Tucker: 3-6, RBI, 3 games
Yordan Alvarez: 2-7, BB, 2 RBI, 3 games
Seth Beer: 1-4, 2 games
Ronnie Dawson: 2-6, RBI, R, 2 games
Abraham Toro: 4-8, 2 RBI, R, 3 games
Myles Straw: 4-10, 3 R, 3 games — and of course this catch to rob Tim Tebow of extra bases:
