When Alex Bregman suits up for Monday’s Home Run Derby at Progressive Field in Cleveland, it will mark the 12th time the Astros have had a participant in the competition. In those first 11 tries, however, every Astro came up short.
Bregman’s inclusion in his second derby makes him just the third Astros player to participate in multiple derbies, joining Killer B’s Jeff Bagwell and Lance Berkman. He held his own in 2018’s derby, hitting 15 homers in the first round but falling short of opponent Kyle Schwarber‘s 16.
