Venezuelan baseball player José Altuve is very clear about his highest goal for the upcoming 2024 Major League season. The Houston Astros’ stellar second baseman did not enjoy good physical health in the 2023 season and therefore could not perform to the maximum of his expectations.
Altuve did not have much luck in the World Baseball Classic either representing Venezuela, since he would receive a ball on his right thumb and this would cost him a little more than two months off the playing fields.
I was a key piece for the Astros
The Venezuelan is a vital player for Houston’s plans and ambitions for the 2024 Major League Baseball season. And his great offensive and defensive contribution has always been key and that is why being completely healthy is necessary for the second baseman to once again have a season like in his 12 years as a professional player.
Altuve decants ready and prepared
José has mentioned that he is very motivated and focused on being able to do what is necessary to cope in the best possible way. this new season in the Major Leagues and stay healthy: “I feel one hundred percent, I feel very good… I can’t wait to get out on the field. I think we have a very talented team. “I like our chances this year,” Altuve commented.
Injuries are never easy for any athlete and Altuve had to go through a complicated process, especially from an emotional point of view since in his 12 years in Major League Baseball he had never been away from the field for so long: “I had never been in that situation before,” he commented. “I had a broken thumb and I was worried that I wouldn’t be ready physically, my whole body. I think that’s already happened. “It was a tough year, but I feel good about this year.”
The Venezuelan national team player extended his pact with Houston
Altuve is an idol and an important figure in the Houston Astroswinner of two World Series and this earned him his signature on a contract extension for a total of five years and $125 million dollars that will begin to come into effect starting with the 2025 season.
This is synonymous with tranquility and calm for Altuve in terms of his work and sports stability.so he can afford to be 100% focused on baseball and be healthy for most of the season, contributing to the Houston Astros with a good performance, with the firm goal of being able to win a third Series World Cup sooner rather than later.
The team’s manager, Joe Espada, only had words of praise for the Venezuelan second baseman, “When he starts, we start. Overall, having him in the healthy lineup every day is important to us. He is looking forward to that. “He trained very hard this offseason, to have another year in the style of José Altuve,” the Astros manager made it quite clear.
Franchise player without a doubt
Altuve has been the number one player for the Houston Astros for approximately the last 8 years where he has been able to harvest and add to his legacy a total of two World Series, an award for the Most Valuable Player of the American League, selected to eight All-Star games, winner of six Silver Bats, champion in batting titles on three occasions , a gold glove and the list goes on.
