Jos� Carlos Altuve is a Venezuelan professional baseball second baseman for the Houston Astros of Major League Baseball. Altuve made his major league debut in July 2011. As of 2014, he is the shortest active MLB player at 5 feet 5 inches. Altuve's short stature has inspired an unofficial unit of measure, with baseball broadcasters asking "how many Altuve's" a home run has traveled. Altuve has been selected to two All-Star Games. In 2014, he became the first player in over 80 years to reach 130 hits and 40 stolen bases before the All-Star Game. That same season he became the first Astro to win the batting title after hitting .341.
