2024 Fantasy Outlook
Altuve didn't make his season debut until mid-May after suffering a fractured right thumb during World Baseball Classic play. He also missed about three weeks of action around midseason with a strained oblique. In the 90 games he was healthy, Altuve was dynamite, posting an OPS over .900 for the second year in a row. He also did his usual thing in the postseason, putting up a .906 OPS with four home runs in 11 games. Altuve will turn 34 in May and he's not a bastion of health as he was earlier in his career, nor is he an elite base stealer anymore (although he's rebounded there the last two seasons). The all-around package remains excellent, though, and worthy of an early-round fantasy selection. Read Past Outlooks
Signs five-year extension
Altuve agreed to a five-year, $125 million contract extension with the Astros on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Altuve's extension ensures he will remain as Houston's second baseman through the 2029 season. Altuve slashed .311/.393/.522 with 17 homers and 51 RBI across 410 plate appearances last season while stealing 14 bags. He missed a significant amount of time at the beginning of the year due to a fractured right thumb and later battled an oblique injury, but the 33-year-old has shown no signs of slowing down entering his 14th big-league campaign.

One of these years, Altuve will let us down, but 2022 was not the year, as he had his best season by wRC+ by repeating his four-category volume, albeit not in the way anyone predicted. Houston's issues at the bottom of the lineup limited Altuve's opportunities to their rebuilding years levels, but the 18 steals in 19 attempts was a huge surprise after his three-year run of 16 for 24 on the bases. He was one of four players (Berti, Andrus, Marte) to swipe at least 18 bases at age 32, and for the first time since 2017 we have seen more than two players swipe that many bases. The changes in the rules may help Altuve's steals hold up another season, but treat double-digit steals as a bonus. The lineup around him and the home ballpark insulate him somewhat from the aging curve that he continues to evade. The physical similarities could raise the same age concerns that beset Dustin Pedroia at this age, but that is likely the only way he gets remotely discounted in drafts this season.
