Yordan Álvarez - 2019 Rookie of the Year Highlights

[@stevenwoods5787]

I’m lookin at the score of some of these games and it reminds me along with yordan how special that team was that year and completely unbelievable that they didn’t win the title that year

[@thedarkcranberry]

2022 and there's no slowing him down. He's a phenom.

[@joshm4782]

Anybody else watching in 2021 and wondering what the future looks like for Yordan?

[@summeronio9751]

Just watched then pummel Oakland. Yordan is back to his heavy hitting ways

[@towardsheaven4196]

Yeah...I just watched him hitting 2 homers to Gerrit Cole

[@cs6266]

update: watching in 2022 and Yordan is now the scariest batter in all of baseball.

[@cauwama]

It's 2022 and he's in the MVP race

[@StrosProd]

In 2022 Well let me tell you something

[@td12345-s]

For around 5-10 seconds, I met Yordan once while on the Round Rock Express (AAA Minor Leagues) during the pregame on June 1st. He was out of the lineup so he could rest. Bet they were anticipating his call up soon and may have wanted to freshen him up a bit. He made time for fans and I spoke Spanish to him so he could feel welcome and secondly in order to get his autograph. He seemed impressed because he did a 180 degree turnaround to sign a baseball card. REALLY cool man! He's calm, collected, patient, and humble from what I could see from the 3-5 minutes I saw of him. I LOVE how he tried to make time for people even with the little time he had. He was the last one out before the National Anthem was sang. These players get SO busy and sometimes, I can feel bad for some of these athletes who don't have time and wish they had more time to make for fans. They get BUSY!!!!

[@reggiefreemanfortrump2203]

Yordan wears Hank Aaron's 44 like a boss. 2020 lets get it

[@Twelvehourpowernap]

Seriosuly. No one better to represent. That 44 stands for toughness, dependability, reliability, durability, consistency, perseverance, humility, and sustained excellence. Every single season, year in and year out for 20 years straight, you could depend on the Hammer to hit .300 with 40 home runs and drive in 100 runs, to chase down balls in the outfield and throw baserunners out. Most people don' t know this, because he only won three Gold Gloves, but Henry Aaron was a stud in right field and he had a cannon for a right arm. Only Roberto Clemente threw out more baserunners from right field over the course of a career, and in his first season in the outfield Aaron threw out 17 baserunners - a number that went way down once players knew not to test his arm. And Willie Mays always got more credit because of his exciting and entertaining play style, but at the end of the day, Aaron was the best, most consistent hitter of that time. He never got hurt. He never struck out 100 times in a season. And every year, he was gonna be top 5 in batting average, home runs, RBI, OPS, you name it

[@carynburke9014]

Could be a future hof

[@zacharyneumann1]

All he does is CRUSH

[@summeronio9751]

He's got a .300+ BA too

[@anthonyg.4785]

His power & eye for the ball are both unreal & he's only 23 years old. Astros definitely got a steal & glad they landed him.

[@TheIcecreamtaco]

@breadandcircuses8127it’s comments like these why people laugh and celebrate the Mets downfall

[@grandwonder5858]

Air Yordan!

[@Devin03_]

i can’t wait to have him back in the lineup 🔥🤘🏽.

[@lashistoriasdemoi4685]

yes!

[@summeronio9751]

Oh hes back for sure

[@Son-Of-David1990]

Damn if he played a full season. He was project to hit like 54 HR. He would have beat pete lol

[@luislozano5809]

AIR YORDAN 💪🐎🇨🇺🇺🇸😅

[@wmarae]

Yordan can go to Houston and do it clean. 27 in the bigs. I didn't hear any trash cans while he was hitting 23 dents at Round Rock before his June 9th call up and nothing in the bigs.

[@SolitarySoldier]

One Time Ronnie hes the real deal

[@elli003]

All I heard was thunder off the end of the bat and NASA saying "Go for throttle-up". Yordan doesn't hit homeruns, he launches them !

[@yetigonecrazy]

50 HR in 2019 between 2 levels, while hitting .328/.428/.696 averaged between the two. At 22 years old. Jebus

[@ReEducated21]

@@yetigonecrazy glad I drafted him

[@yetigonecrazy]

@@ReEducated21 i watched him as he destroyed AAA in 2019, picked him up and stashed him about a month before he came up and he's been a keeper ever since. Cornerstone of my team

Air Yordan!!!!!

[@eddiejoenoonan1999]

Well a year ago I said I couldn’t wait to see what Yordan can do with a 162 game season and here I am still waiting

[@summeronio9751]

Well.... Here in 2022, he's arguably the best player in baseball

[@seatyouthful4434]

Thank You Dodgers

[@Htown_sports_dude]

Damn I’m really impressed with this dude I knew he had some pop in the bat but wow he has more than just pop in his bat he’s Barry bonds 2.0

[@christiankrueger691]

Hopefully not Barry bonds 2.0 last thing we need right now is another cheating scandal

[@turniorarroyo1405]

He gots a nice swing.

[@brenanprukop1441]

Dude when he hits the baseball it sounds like someone firing a gun

[@EDF1919]

I forgot we called him "the man child" for a little while there in the beginning, Air Yordan is much better.

[@vianneymartinez3911]

someone in the comments really said he cheated LOL .some of y’all are the real life definition of a bandwagon. yordan literally has hit 2 homeruns on the road in the same game. such as in the A’s, Yankees, Oriels and Rangers stadium. they swear they’re informed and know everything 🤣

[@bigmike1114]

he was there after they cheated and he is a goat

[@h-town4156]

My guy has that Ken Griffey jr swing

[@garycox1274]

Just think if he would not have been injured part of the year in 20 and 21 what his home run record would be like today to this day 7-Eleven 2022

Reminds me of Ortiz

[@jamesmartin9401]

Bless his heart, that Baltimore pitcher at 4:47 looked like he passed a kidney stone when Alvarez got a hold of that pitch.

[@HTownsDrummingVideos]

3:10, I was at that game. Mazara never moved and I thought to myself, "THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CLOBBERED!! GOOD GOD WHERE IS THAT GONNA LAND?!! OH MY, WHAT A BOMB!!"

[@bennygilbert8764]

If Yordan manages to keep up this pace, the guy may very well end up as the best power slugger in Astros history. BTW, TK and Blummer calling Yordan's home runs is SO FUN.
