Entering what could be his final year with the Houston Astros, their superstar was expecting a monster year. That hasn't happened so far, but he's still not feeling pressure.
Based on how the year has started, getting out of the normal grind that this long season presents could be exactly what this team needs as they've been able to relax and do all the festivities that comes with an international series like this., sitting with a 7-19 record and last place in their division.
The star third baseman was expecting to have a huge season, but instead, he has the 15th-worst slugging percentage among qualified hitters with a .273 figure. "I find zero pressure in regards to playing in a contract year. I play the game to be an elite player in the game. I could give a s— about anything but playing at a high level," he saidWhat is different this year than in seasons past is Houston has not been able to mask the slow start that their star third baseman normally undergoes.
