2024 Fantasy Outlook
Bregman is entering into the final year of his current contract, and it could be a rather interesting year if new manager Joe Espada makes the obvious tweak in the lineup. Should Espada finally move Kyle Tucker into the 2nd spot and then use Bregman in between Tucker and Yordan Alvarez, Bregman would arguably be the best positioned hitter in baseball. The insulation of the talent in front of him and the threat behind him would put him in great position to once again drive in 100+ runs, something he has not done in the previous three full seasons. Bregman is a rarity in this modern game as a player who walks more often than he strikes out, but that success translates more to his on-base skills (.373 career) than his batting average (.274 career.) Bregman also is more at home facing fellow righties than lefties the past two seasons but his home/road splits aren't as extreme as one might believe. We'll go out on a limb and state that should Bregman hit third this season, he will win the AL MVP. Read Past Outlooks

April 15, 2024
Bregman (illness) will start at third base and bat cleanup in Monday's contest versus Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Bregman missed three games due to illness but is feeling up to participating in Monday's festivities. It's been a slow start to the season for the veteran third baseman, as he'll carry a .241/.305/.333 batting line with no home runs into play Monday.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
No contract talks yet
3BHouston Astros
March 29, 2024
According to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com, Astros GM Dana Brown said Thursday there's been no discussions with Bregman on an extension, though an offer will be made "at some point."
ANALYSIS
It's been established multiple times over the past few months that the two sides have yet to start any contract negotiations, and that hasn't changed with the season now underway. Bregman has indicated he's open to in-season negotiations, so the start of the campaign shouldn't affect any talks. The 30-year-old is in the final year of the five-year, $100 million extension he signed in 2019, and he'll be looking for another huge deal since this could be his final crack at a massive payday.

While he will always have his vocal detractors as a result of his purported involvement in the 2019 Astros cheating scandal, Bregman should be able to rest easy at night knowing he's lived up to expectations as the No. 2 overall pick in 2015. He's a two-time All-Star and now a two-time World Series champion, having hit .294/.379/.569 in the most recent postseason to help manager Dusty Baker secure his first ring. Bregman was limited in 2021 due to quad and hamstring issue and underwent wrist surgery in November of 2021, which may have sapped his power early on in the 2022 campaign (.410 SLG at the end of June). He would go on to slug over .500 after the All-Star break. Running is something Bregman has abandoned, but the highly-capable bat and RBI opportunities batting behind Jose Altuve, Jeremy Pena and Yordan Alvarez make Bregman an appealing option to consider after the elite tier of third basemen are off the board.
While the temptation is to chalk up the worst season of Bregman's career to losing over 10 weeks with quadriceps and hamstring injuries, he was slashing only .275/.359/.428 when he was put on the IL in mid-June, compared to .261/.348/.412 after returning in late August. Bregman has never lit up his Statcast page, with his power being a product of a high pull rate at home and on the road. His contact rate remains excellent, but Bregman's 40.8% groundball rate was a career high, dampening power. Bregman underwent wrist surgery in November which could explain a .737 OPS after Sept. 1 and a .604 mark in 16 playoff games. Bregman's plate skills provide a strong batting average and on base floor. The name brand and the allure of 2019's Happy Fun Ball season raise Bregman's price above his true talent level.
Everyone knew that 2020 was going to be a rough season for Bregman given all the attention regarding TrashcanGate. He rubbed many the wrong way with his attitude toward the whole thing, and gave the haters plenty of fuel with his rather lackluster 2020 performance. Bregman's slash line by season's end included a career-low batting average, his second-lowest OBP, and the worst SLG of his career. He continued to draw walks and not strike out much, which shows that his ability to hit was not solely built upon the banging of a receptacle. He did miss a chunk of time with hamstring injury, but even his confident persona would admit the season was a bust. He no longer has dual position eligibility on draft day, but a healthy Bregman playing in Minute Maid Field should resume his above-average offensive production. Lean more toward 2017 than 2019.
This is what 80-grade plate skills look like: a 17.2 BB% and 12 K% over 690 PA as a 25-year-old. It was Bregman's second straight year with more walks than strikeouts, and he added 10 home runs to his 2018 total. Batting mostly 2-4 in one of the American League's most prolific offenses, Bregman finished with 234 runs-plus-RBI, ranking fourth in MLB, and added a handful of steals en route to a second-place finish in the MVP voting. There is some evidence to suggest he was one of the biggest beneficiaries of the juiced ball, but you're not buying Bregman for 40-plus homers. You're buying him because he has arguably the highest four-category floor in the game for anyone not named Mike Trout or Nolan Arenado. Bregman has reached 155 games played in each of the last three years and the Astros will be returning most of their offense around him. He maintains shortstop- and 3B-eligibility heading into 2020.
Bregman's coming-out party in the 2017 World Series may have moved his draft-day price to an uncomfortable level, but he rewarded investors by blossoming into one of the sport's top hitters. A more selective approach has been the key, as he bumped his BB/K from 0.29 to 1.13 in the span of two years. Bregman made the most of the contact gains, too, raising his ISO by 55 points en route to a 31-homer campaign. While Bregman lost out on some steals, he was still an asset on the bases with 10 thefts, atoning for the decline there with big outputs in the other major counting categories. The year-to-year growth he's already shown makes it tough to bank on Bregman reaching another level, but his age and the support of a stacked lineup at least make it a possibility. He underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow in January and is expected to be limited at the start of spring training, potentially pushing him out of the first round.
Bregman took a while to find his footing at the big-league level, but he grew very comfortable by the end of 2017, finishing with a .315/.367/.536 line in the second half. He carried that momentum into the postseason and showed his mettle with homers off Chris Sale (2), Clayton Kershaw and Kenley Jansen en route to a World Series win. Bregman puts the ball in play consistently (15.5 percent strikeout rate) and he walked at an above-average clip last season (8.8 percent) while making hard contact with roughly one-third of his batted balls. At 23 years old, he has good instincts on the basepaths (17-for-22) and has already cemented himself into the two hole in one of baseball's best lineups. There's a ton to like here even at an inflated cost coming off the postseason run; think Anthony Rendon-lite with more speed and shortstop eligibility, and without the injury history.
Bregman has been in professional baseball for all of two seasons, and all he has done is hit. He had more walks than strikeouts at the minor league level and hit .300/.388/.503 with 24 homers and 20 steals in the minors in what equated to a full season of 679 plate appearances across all levels. He held his own at the major league level after just 83 plate appearances at Triple-A. Following a 2-for-42 start in the majors, Bregman hit .313/.354/.577 the rest of the way, showing his ability to quickly adjust against top-level pitching. He is projected to hit in the top third of the lineup between George Springer and Jose Altuve which should help him become a very productive third baseman in 2017.
Following three successful seasons at LSU (.334/.407/.517) where he established himself as one of the top college hitters available, Bregman was selected by the Astros with the second overall pick in the 2015 first-year player draft. In 66 games between Low-A Quad Cities and High-A Lancaster last season, Bregman hit .294/.366/.415 with four home runs, 34 RBI and 13 steals with a 30:29 K:BB. The 21-year-old played shortstop in college and throughout his first professional season, but his future position probably hinges on the health of Carlos Correa and Jose Altuve when he is ready to debut. The Astros could also look to deal Bregman if he is ready for primetime and they don't have a spot for him. A ticket to Double-A Corpus Christi is likely at some point in 2016, if not to begin the year, but a jump to the majors will likely have to wait until 2017 unless there is an injury in the big league infield.
