The Houston Astros are undergoing a tactical shift under the guidance of their new manager, a former coach with a proven track record. The team, known for its analytical approach to the game and emphasis on player analytics, is now incorporating new strategies and tactics to better utilize their players’ strengths and exploit their opponents’ weaknesses.
This new approach includes a greater emphasis on small-ball tactics, such as bunting, hit-and-runs, and base-stealing, as well as more aggressive defensive shifts to better position players based on opposing hitters’ tendencies.
