## Resource

Yordan Alvarez is on fire, smashing his 30th homer and 200th career blast to become the fastest Astro ever to reach 200 homers and the first to hit 30 homers before the All-Star break. His offensive explosion isn’t just power—he’s hitting better, getting on base more, and posting a higher OPS than last year, making him a legitimate MVP candidate and Triple Crown contender. Pitchers are walking him more than anyone in MLB, and he’s crushing it with runners in scoring position. Leading the AL in homers and RBIs, second in average, Alvarez is chasing one of baseball’s rarest honors—something last achieved by Miguel Cabrera in 2012.
