How about the 5-foot-5 hitting-machine Jose Altuve? In this era of high-strikeout totals, the 24-year-old Houston second baseman cut his strikeout rate in half from last year, and has the lowest rate in baseball (6.5 percent) while leading baseball in hits (116) and ranking second in batting average (.347 as of 4:30 p.m. today) and fifth in doubles (25). Altuve has also swiped 36 bags in 39 chances and is on pace for just under 70 this year.
