Astros' Chas McCormick: Showing patience at plate
McCormick has drawn seven walks across 28 plate appearances during Cactus League action.
McCormick is in competition for the center field job with Jake Meyers this spring and has reached base at a .464 clip. While that's certainly a positive, he has only three extra-base hits across 21 at-bats. Both McCormick and Meyers could start the season in the lineup if Michael Brantley (shoulder) isn't ready for Opening Day.

Astros' Chas McCormick: Competing for CF job
McCormick is competing for the Astros' starting center field job this spring, manager Dusty Baker told Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle on Friday.
McCormick enters camp as the odds-on favorite after starting 12 of 13 postseason games in center field in 2022 during the Astros' run to the World Series title. However, Baker noted that Jake Meyers would also be in the running after an injury-plagued 2022 and that "there's room for everybody to play." In addition to McCormick and Meyers, Mauricio Dubon and Pedro Leon (abdomen), when healthy, will also compete for playing time in center field with Houston.

Astros' Chas McCormick: Homers in Game 3
McCormick went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk during Saturday's 5-0 win over the Yankees in Game 3 of the ALCS.
McCormick snuck a Gerrit Cole fastball just over the wall in right field to give the Astros a 2-0 lead during the second inning. He continues to be a solid source of production for the bottom of the Houston lineup, and all five runs in Game 3 were knocked in by the bottom three hitters of the order. The homer marked McCormick's second of the ALCS, and the 27-year-old is now 5-for-16 with three RBI in his second postseason campaign.
