Bregman, SS, LSU - I have been enamored with Bregman for years and would
love to see him wearing a Cubs uniform someday. Aside from his talents, he is
an extremely high-character kid with great instincts for the game, and he is a
leader in every sense of the word. He is an alumni of Team USA Baseball and
always seems to come through in the clutch. As a freshman, he hit
.369/.417/.546 over 67 games with 18 doubles, seven triples, six home runs and
stole 16 bases. He drew 24 walks to just 25 strikeouts, showing an advanced
approach at the plate. This year, he is hitting .292/.374/.420 with 12 doubles,
five home runs, 11 stolen bases and has drawn 24 walks to just 19 strikeouts
through 55 games. He has all the tools to stick at shortstop, but even if he
moves over to second base, his offensive potential and intangibles are what
have him in talks for 1.1. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2015-mlb-draft-25-players/42946#KfGGhgC2ZcQbdBfh.99
As a slight, high school freshman, Bregman drilled a ball well out of Albuquerque’s Isotopes Park—the Triple-A home of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ top farm team—during the 2009 high school state championship game. It was a thunderclap of a statement from Bregman that while young, he could play with the big boys.... so after a season in which Bregman hit .369 while leading the Tigers in hits (104, second in the country), triples (seven), doubles (18) and steals (16 of 17) while adding six homers and 52 RBIs, it was no surprise that Bregman earned Baseball America’s Freshman of the Year award. http://www.baseballamerica.com/college/college-freshman-of-the-year-alex-bregman/
