Records
Nine All-Star selections are the most in Astros history, and six of them came as a fan-voted starter at second base, a mark only two other American League second basemen have reached. Seven Silver Slugger Awards tie him for the most ever at the position. His postseason numbers are where the record gets genuinely strange: 28 home runs, 90 runs scored, 120 hits, and the only career in baseball with both 120 postseason hits and 25 postseason home runs. Ten of those homers gave his team the lead, three in the ninth inning, the most in postseason history. He has more three-hit games than any player since 2011.
