Astros Season Rewind: The Arrival of Alex Bregman

The top pick for the Astros, and the 4th overall pick in the 2015 MLB Draft, Alex Bregman from Baton Rouge, Louisiana can straight ball. It only took him a year of minor league preparation to reach the Majors, and the Louisiana State product appears to have found a new home in Houston, Texas. Bregman arrived and immediately began showing glimpses of special talent, and the moment never seemed too big for him.

Bregman was drafted as a shortstop in 2015, and this came as a surprise to many fans, seeing that young stud Carlos Correa was a shortstop.
