The INSANE Prime of Jeff Bagwell

Jeff Bagwell, with his unorthodox but iconic batting stance, epitomized greatness as an Astros player. Bagwell showcased a combination of power, plate discipline, baserunning, and fielding. Despite spending a large portion of his career at the pitcher-friendly Astrodome, he hit 449 home runs during his career, the most in franchise history. Bagwell’s instincts on the basepaths led him to join the 30/30 club multiple times as a first baseman! He was also cited as a leader and an ultimate team player, prioritizing a run scored above all else. Bagwell and teammate Craig Biggio were two founding members of the Killer B’s, a formidable group that led Houston to a tremendous 5-year run, consisting of four division titles. After compiling Cooperstown worthy numbers, the Baseball Hall of Fame nearly eluded Bagwell due to PED suspicions.
