The Houston Astros were able to draft Alex Bregman from the LSU Tigers because they failed to sign Brady Aiken the year before with the first overall pick in the 2014 draft. There are so many expectations and hope implanted on this young player, but he tends to wear it with confidence and humor. There are some expectations that he will make his debut in 2016 with the Astros, but there was a scary moment in Monday night’s Hooks game.
In the eighth inning of the Hooks game versus the San Antonio Missions, Bregman was hit by a pitch on the helmet by Yimmi Brasoban, sending shock waves through the Astros organization.
