The Astros’ starting third baseman, Alex Bregman, made his major league debut in 2017 with 155 games played. The right-hander batted.284 with 18 homers and 71 RBI, as well as 88 runs and 39 doubles, throughout the season.
All 18 of the Astros’ playoff games were started by Bregman, who helped lead the team to its first World Series championship.
However, he had three doubles and four home runs, scored 11 runs, and drove in 10.
His eighth-inning homer off Chris Sale broke a 2-2 tie and Houston won Game 4 of the Division Series, 5-4, to advance to the ALCS against the Boston Red Sox.
With an OPS of 1.085 with 11 home runs and 30 RBI, Bregman was named the American League Player of the Month for June 2018.
He was the only American League representative in the Home Run Derby and won the Ted Williams Award as the game’s MVP when his 10th-inning home run off Ross Stripling broke a 6-6 tie and sent the junior circuit to an 8-6 victory.
He was named to the All-Star team for the first time and was the sole representative of the AL. Additionally, he became the first third baseman to ever amass a career-high of both 50 doubles and 30 home runs in one season.
It was an excellent season for him, with 31 home runs and 103 RBI in 157 games. After going 5 for 9 with two homers and a double in the Division Series, he was an unbeatable one-man wrecking crew for Houston Astros.
Even though the Red Sox routinely threw around him (he drew seven walks in five games and was hit by two pitches), the Red Sox kept him continuously on the basepaths (he was 2 for 15).
How Did Alex Bregman And Reagan Howard Meet?
At the time, Howard was a 19-year-old university student.
In Houston, Reagan visited old friends, one of whom was seeing Alex’s friend, who happened to be dating Alex’s friend. Reagan told The Knot that “one of my girlfriends was dating his friend.”
Due to the fact that I didn’t want to attend dinner, it was wild.” And about three or four days later, we went on a date!
