According to STATS Perform, no regular position player had previously won MVP in a 162-game season with fewer than 95 games on defense.

He led the AL and MLB with a .316 batting average, .601 slugging percentage and .432 on-base percentage.

Alvarez won both the AL and MLB batting titles with 42 home runs.

After injuries limited him to 48 games in 2025, he appeared in 158 of the Astros' 162 games in 2026 and logged a career-high 692 plate appearances.

“It’s funny, because he doesn’t know he is Yordan Alvarez.”— Former teammate Mauricio Dubón said this about Alvarez’s humble, unassuming nature.
