Former LSU baseball standout Alex Bregman has already enjoyed a nice career with the Houston Astros.

Former LSU baseball star Alex Bregman is one of MLB’s true superstars.

Bregman, who was drafted by the Houston Astros with the second overall selection in the 2015 MLB Draft, is only 26, but he’s already had an exciting and productive professional career.

The New Mexico native has reached two all-star games, won a World Series (2017) and finished second in AL MVP voting (in 2019, behind Mike Trout).

During Bregman’s first four years in the big leagues (three full seasons), he’s had numerous memorable moments — both on and off the field.

With everyone missing baseball right now (thanks a lot, coronavirus), I figured it would be fun to take a trip down memory lane and relive some of Bregman’s best moments.

It was hard to narrow this list down to just five moments, but these are the five moments that first came to mind when I thought back on Bregman’s short, but exciting career.

5. Walk off against A’s

One of the greatest things about baseball is that you’ll likely see something every game that you’ve never seen before.

Bregman’s walk off against the Oakland A’s on July 10, 2018 certainly qualifies as something I’ve never seen before.

With the game tied at five in the 11th inning, Bregman hit a tapper that traveled about five feet and barely stayed fair. Oakland catcher Jonathan Lucroy tried to tag Bregman, who managed to dodge the attempt. Lucroy then dropped the ball and made a wide throw to first, allowing the game winning run to score.

Bregman’s had his share of big hits and long home runs, but this play that looked like it was straight out of a little league game is one of his most memorable moments.
