The 2016 Houston Astros season was the 55th season for the Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise located in Houston, Texas, their 52nd as the Astros, fourth in both the American League (AL) and AL West division, and 17th at Minute Maid Park. They entered the season having posted an 86–76 record, in second place and 2 games behind the division-champion Texas Rangers. The Astros qualified for the playoffs as a Wild Card team; however, their season ended in defeat to the eventual World Series champion Kansas City Royals in the American League Division Series (ALDS).

On April 5 at Yankee Stadium, Dallas Keuchel made his second consecutive Opening Day start for Houston, who defeated New York, 5–3. After a 7–17 start in the month of April, the Astros produced a winning record over their next four months, highlighted by an 18–8 record in June. The Astros' first-round draft pick in the amateur draft was pitcher Forrest Whitley, at 17th overall.

Second baseman Jose Altuve and pitcher Will Harris represented the Astros and played for the American League at the MLB All-Star Game. It was Altuve's fourth career selection and the first for Harris. After going 12–15 in September, the Astros were eliminated from playoff contention.

The Astros concluded the season with a final record of 84–78, for third place and eleven games behind Texas, who repeated as division champions. In the Wild Card race, the Astros trailed the Toronto Blue Jays by five games for the second opening. For the first time since 2005—2006, the Astros posted consecutive winning seasons. The 2016 season was the final year in which Houston did not advance to at least the American League Championship Series (ALCS) until 2024, and the final time that they did not win the AL West over a full 162-game schedule until 2025.[a]

Altuve, who claimed a second AL batting championship (.338) and third consecutive hits title (216), was named The Sporting News Player of the Year, and the MLBPA Players Choice Awards each for Major League Player of the Year, AL Outstanding Player, and Majestic Athletic Always Game Award. He also won his third consecutive Silver Slugger Award. Additionally, pitcher Dallas Keuchel won his third consecutive Gold Glove, and third baseman Alex Bregman was selected to the Topps All-Star Rookie Team.

In a recasting of the outgoing playoff's AL Wild Card Game,[2] New York hosted the Astros at Yankee Stadium, with Dallas Keuchel opposing Masahiro Tanaka, for Opening Day, on April 5. Carlos Correa homered and collected two stolen bases, and Jose Altuve and Preston Tucker each doubled to lead Houston to victory, 5 to 3.[26] Correa's home run was the first of his career on Opening Day.[27] Tyler White entered as a pinch hitter to make his major league debut and collected a single.[28] Keuchel, making his second consecutive Opening Day start for Houston, worked seven innings to earn the win. Ken Giles worked the eighth and garnered two whiffs, including withstanding a solo home run by Didi Gregorius, to earn the hold. Closer Luke Gregerson pitched a perfect bottom of the ninth with a strikeout to garner the save.[26]

Tyler White batted .556 (10-for18), two doubles, three home runs, 9 runs batted in (RBI), .597 on-base percentage (OBP), and 1.167 slugging percentage (SLG) over his first six games.[29] Hence, White was named Player of the Week to cap a memorable first week in the major leagues.[30]

During Game 2 of the regular season, on April 6, George Springer slugged his first career grand slam, taking Michael Pineda deep to left-center field in top of the second at Yankee Stadium.[31] Carlos Correa added two jacks. However, New York teed off on Collin McHugh (0–1) for six in the bottom of the first and never looked back, routing the Astros, 16–6.[32]

Right-hander Chris Devenski made his major league debut on April 8 and pitched three innings scoreless frames in relief versus the Milwaukee Brewers.[33] Devenski entered for the bottom of the fifth with Houston trailing 0-to-4 and fanned his first hitter, Domingo Santana, looking. Chris Carter doubled off Devesnki in the sixth for his first major league hit surrendered and only hit off Devenski in the contest. Tyler White led the Astros' hitters with three hits, one home run, one double and three RBI. The Astros staged a four-run rally in the top of the ninth inning, but the Brewers held on for a 6–4 triumph.[34]

From April 10 to 16, Jose Altuve batted .385 / .484 on-base percentage (OBP) / .846 slugging percentage (SLG) / 1.330 on-base plus slugging (OPS) over seven games. Altuve doubled, homered, and purloined a base thrice, with 5 each of RBI, walks, and strikeouts, 22 total bases, and 10 hits.[35] Altuve won AL Player of the Week, the second consecutive week that an Astro won, following Tyler White.[30]

May

[edit]

Astros pitching established a major league strikeout record on May 26, whiffing 52 in a series against the Baltimore Orioles, for most over a three-game series. During the first game of the series, the pitchers fanned 19, the followed up with 18 the next game. The strikeouts over the first two established a two-game record with 37.[36]

June

[edit]

On June 1, George Springer connected for his first career walk-off home run, during the bottom of the eleventh inning versus Tyler Clippard of the Arizona Diamondbacks.[31]

On June 25, A. J. Reed made his major league debut and went 0-for-2 while collecting an RBI versus the Kansas City Royals.[37] During this first plate appearance in the top of the second inning, Reed drew a base on balls from Royals starter Chris Young, scoring on a Luis Valbuena double, which ignited a seven-run frame for Houston. Later in the inning, Jose Altuve (13) and Carlos Correa (12) homered as the Astros cruised to a 13-to-5 win. Altuve also doubled twice (23) while tallying four hits. Reed obtained his first RBI during the top of the fourth by hitting a sacrifice fly to left field that plated Altuve.[38]

Second baseman Jose Altuve was recognized as American League (AL) Player of the Month for the first time in his career in June.[39] Over 26 bouts, Altuve hit .420 / .492 on-base percentage (OBP) / .620 slugging percentage (SLG) / 1.112 on-base plus slugging (OPS). Altuve assembled 42 hits, including 6 doubles, a triple, 6 home runs, and purloined 6 bases, while collecting 15 RBI, drew 13 walks, and struck out 10 times. It was also his third successive month scoring at least 19 runs.[40] Altuve became the first Astro to win the Player of the Month Award since the team transferred to the American League, and first overall since Lance Berkman won the National League (NL) honors in May 2008.[39]

July

[edit]

On July 24, Jose Altuve drove in a career-high six RBI.[41]

On July 25, Alex Bregman made his major league debut versus the Yankees. Bregman started at third base and went 0-for-4 in a 2–1 loss.[42] In his first plate appearance, Bregman filed out versus Michael Pineda. In the top of third inning, Bregman started his first double play when he fielded an Aaron Hicks ground ball. George Springer hit a first-pitch leadoff home run (22) for Houston's only score. Pineda (5–9) earned the win for New York, while Dallas Keuchel (6–10) scattered six hits over 7+2⁄3 innings and was charged with the defeat.[43]

After an 0-for-17 start to his major league career, on July 31, Bregman singled for his first major league hit.[42]

August

[edit]

On August 2, right-hander Joe Musgrove made his major league debut, tossing 4+1⁄3 innings versus the Toronto Blue Jays, yielding one hit, one run, and fanning eight.[44]

On August 6, Alex Bregman went 3-for-5 for his first multi-hit game. He also doubled for his first career extra-base hit and RBI. However, the Texas Rangers defeated the Astros, 3 to 2.[42]

On August 12, Teoscar Hernández made his major league debut, going 2-fo-4 versus Toronto, including his first major league home run.[45] Hernández started in center field, and, in his first plate appearance, drew a lead off walk from Francisco Liriano during the top of the third inning, Hernández scored on a single by Carlos Correa. During the top of the sixth, Hernández took Liriano deep to left for both his first major league hit and home run. Evan Gattis doubled twice (16) and collected four hits as Houston won, 5–3. Joe Musgrove, the starter for Houston, hurled seven innings and earned his first major league victory. In spite of yielding a home run to Edwin Encarnación (32) in the ninth, Will Harris recorded the final three outs for the save (12).[46]

On August 16, Altuve singled to assemble his 1,000th hit, which established an Astros' team record for the fewest games to do so (786), part a three-hit effort versus the St. Louis Cardinals. Altuve also became the second-fastest among active players to do so, following Ichiro Suzuki (696 games). Altuve reached the milestone in 103 fewer games than César Cedeño, and faster than eight of the then-30 entrants into the 3,000 hit club.[47]

The Baltimore Orioles attained a Major League first on August 19 at the expense of the Astros, swatting four home runs to open a game prior to recording an out. During the first inning, the Orioles scored five runs.[48] The Astros staged a rally, however, as they answered with five during top of the second inning, scoring in seven of nine innings on the way to a 15 to 8 triumph. Jose Altuve and George Springer each doubled and homered. Altuve collected five RBI while Springer had four hits. Chris Devenski (2–4) worked four innings with one run surrendered to earn the victory.[49] Altuve produced his second five-RBI in under one month after having attained his first 6-RBI bout on July 24.[41]

On August 21, Yuli Gurriel made his major league debut[50] in a 5 to 3 triumph over the Baltimore Orioles.[51] Starting as the designated hitter, Gurriel collected a single off Yovani Gallardo in his first plate appearance. Carlos Correa doubled (30) and collected a stolen base and two RBI, Jake Marisnick homered, and Dallas Keuchel (8–12) diffused five hits over eight innings to earn the victory.[52]

Performance overview

[edit]

The Astros finalized the 2016 campaign with an 84–78 record, in third place in the AL West division, and eleven games behind the division-champion Texas Rangers. The Astros trailed the Baltimore Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays by five games for a Wild Card entrance, thus missing the playoffs.[53] Though the Astros missed the playoffs, they posted successive winning seasons for the first time since 2005 to 2006.[54] Moreover, for the second consecutive season, Houston won at least 84 contests, having last accomplished this successively from 2001 to 2005, a then-franchise record. Following the 2016 season, Astros continued to claim at least 84 victories during every non-abbreviated season,[d] establishing a new franchise record six in 2021, and remaining in catenation of 10 through 2025.[3]

The Astros became the fifth Major League club to roster three relievers who each converted 12 or more saves (Ken Giles, Luke Gregerson, and Will Harris), tying the major league record. The Astros succeeded the Seattle Mariners from the year prior in achieving this distinction.[55]

Jose Altuve, having attained new career-highs with 108 runs scored, 24 home runs, and 96 RBI,[56] became just the fifth Major Leaguer to attain all of the following during the same season: 30 stolen bases, 100 runs, 200 hits, 40 doubles, 20 home runs, and 90 RBI. Altuve joined Ellis Burks (1996), Larry Walker (1997), Alfonso Soriano (2002), and Jacoby Ellsbury (2011).[57] Moreover, Altuve extended club records with both a third successive season of 200 hits and as league leader in hits, and second batting championship.

Outfielder George Springer became the first player in club history to hammer three grand slams in a single season[58] (April 6, May 14, and June 24).[31]

Following the season, Altuve was recognized with multiple player of the year awards, by The Sporting News,[59] and the MLBPA Players Choice Awards as Major League Player of the Year (first Astro), and AL Outstanding Player, as well as the Majestic Athletic Always Game Award (Altuve's second consecutive).[60] Altuve won his third successive Silver Slugger Award, becoming the first Astro with this distinction.[9] Further, Altuve became the third Astro to receive the Lou Gehrig Memorial Award, succeeding Buddy Bell (1988) and Glenn Davis (1990),[61] and received his second Luis Aparicio Award.[62] Altuve joined Jeff Bagwell in 1994 as the second Astro to receive both The Sporting News MLB Player of the Year Award,[59] and Players Choice Outstanding Player.[60]

Reliever Chris Devenski became the first Astros rookie reliever to accumulate each of 100 innings pitched, 100 strikeouts, and sub-3.00 earned run average (ERA). Just the 12th Major League rookie to accomplish the three, Devenski succeeded Pedro Martinez in 1993 as the most recent.[63]
