Forecasting the future of Astros call-up Alex Bregman

After keeping the player who spent a few weeks at or near the top of our weekly top-10 fantasy prospect list in the minors, the Houston Astros have finally decided to promote Alex Bregman. He dominated the Texas League (Double-A) before being promoted to Triple-A Fresno, where he continued to punish opposition. Combining both levels, he hit 306/.406/.580 with 44 extra-base hits, including 20 home runs. The second overall pick in 2015 starred for the United States in the Futures Game, finishing a homer short of the cycle.
