The Houston Astros have one of the most talented rosters in all of baseball.
You cannot make seven straight ALCS appearances without having very good players.
They have a core of veterans that have been great MLB players for a long time.
Along with a mix of young players that continue to get better every season.
One player who has been with the Astros since 2019 is outfielder Michael Brantley.
He has been a great hitter for 15 MLB seasons holding a career batting average of .298.
Brantley has worked with some of the best hitting coaches in the world, but no one knows his swing better than his father.
According to FOX Sports: MLB, Brantley still gets hitting tips from his father, Mickey, before games.
This is so awesome.

No one knows your swing quite like the guy who has been with you all your life.
Mickey knows exactly what to look for in his son’s swing and the perfect feedback to give him.
You can tell the feedback worked because Michael ended up going 2-3 in this game with a double.
Brantley improved his postseason batting average to a .357 as well.
The 36-year-old was only able to play in 15 regular-season games this year.
But, he is making up for the lost time in October.
Even with the success of Brantley, the Astros find themselves in serious trouble.
They lost the first two games of the series, both at home, and now must find a way to win at Globe Life Field.
