MLB: Reasons of Astros' early success

The Houston Astros after so many disappointing seasons at the feet of MLB have been able to draft top players like Altuve, Springer, Keuchel and McCullers. Two years ago the explosion season when they came a step away from eliminating those who would become Kansas City Royals world champions and the level seems to have come back that especially in the last games after being redone from a brilliant start. This team has a lot of strengths, one of the most full-fledged lineups, as it has both contact bats like Altuve, Aoki and Gurriel, as well as power bats like Gattis, McCann, Reddick and Beltran. This perfect balance has so far been the third best placed in the MLB as the average and the ninth as points scored, a confirmation of the high season expectations. Impressive season starts at Reddick's plate which is having an average of 281 (much higher than in the last few seasons) and Marwin Gonzalez who in addition to being a defensive jolly has already beat 9 HR with an average of 271 As for the pitching stuff, Kuechel's star has come back to shine in Houston's sky and the key to his success is a command over all the rumors of being unimaginable, as unlike most new generation pitchers he is not Power pitcher with a fastball from 95 mph or more but a pitcher location with a fast from 89 to 91 mph. The rest of the rotation sees McCullers and Morton on discrete levels that are good because of the run support that every match attacks him while Fiers and Musgrove have to rhythm with the nasty start, especially the pitcher ex Brewers who wrong locations often giving up too many homeruns. The bullpen also goes on alternating current as Devenski, Harris, Peackock and Feliz come from a good start of the season while Sipp, Gregerson, Gustave and the closer Giles have started the season with a very high ERA. The entire pitching stuff of the Astros as well as having a great defense behind it has proven to be largely capable of eliminating the beatings to the pot being first in the MLB as strikeouts scored. All this gave rise to the best start in the first 34 of the history of the franchise with a record of 23-11 and good hopes for the rest of the season.
