Well, that didn’t take long.

During the Houston Astros spring game against the Detroit Tigers — Jose Altuve became the most notable player on the team to be hit by a pitch, something opposing fans are calling for to happen all season long.

It happened on his 3rd at-bat against Tigers reliever Nick Ramirez.

It’s also worth noting that he got booed out of the stadium during his first at-bat:
