Carlos Figueroa Ruiz.- With 116 strokes up to Thursday, José Altuve is heading to his fifth consecutive season where he exceeds two hundred strokes.
If, as everything seems to indicate, he returns to the front of the undisputed important line, will join Japan's Ichiro Suzuki as the batters with more consecutive campaigns leading this important department.
Since the entry into the US league in 1901, 19 players have racked up at least five seasons of 200 shots, led by Suzuki and the legendary Pete Rose, with 10 each. But only three of those 19 have made at least five consecutive tournaments in the past 80 years. Hence the importance of what can be achieved this year Altuve, which since 2014 has shot 961 hits, 124 shots more than Charlie Blackmon, who is the second batter with more unbearable in the last five years, with 837 in 695 matches
