Bourn leads the National League in steals (25), triples (6) and infield hits (20), the Houston Chronicle reports. Recommendation: It's been a breakthrough year for the 26-year-old outfielder. While Bourn will record more than his share of strikeouts, his walk rate has increased dramatically this season, which bodes well for his long-term success atop the Astros' lineup. |
