“I had three years in the big leagues and had a little success, and why change at this point?” Altuve said. “But I changed it, and it’s a big difference. I give [Mallee] credit.
“He’s one of the best hitting coaches I’ve ever worked with.”

“John Mallee has been a big influence for me. He taught me things about my swing that nobody else had pointed out. He has helped me with my approach as well as with driving the ball.”

“John has been a huge influence on me. I signed at 17 and he helped build my swing and approach into what it is today. He takes your strengths as a hitter and makes them more efficient. He understands the mental game and helped me prepare on a daily basis with my swing mechanics and my approach against that night’s pitcher. “
