Alexander David Bregman (born March 30, 1994) is an American professional baseball infielder for the Houston Astros of Major League Baseball (MLB).
In high school, in 2010 as a sophomore at the age of 16, Bregman became the first high school player to win the USA Baseball Player of the Year Award. In 2011 as a junior he batted .678, while setting a New Mexico season record with 19 home runs.
In three years of college baseball for Louisiana State University (LSU), Bregman was voted the 2013 National Freshman of the Year by Baseball America, won the 2013 Brooks Wallace Award, as the country's best college shortstop, and was a two-time All-American. Towards the end of his junior year, he was selected by the Houston Astros with the second pick in the first round of the 2015 MLB draft. He was named a 2016 AA mid-season All Star, and the Astros called him up to the major leagues in July 2016.
Bregman is Jewish, and was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He was a member of Albuquerque's Congregation Albert growing up, and lived in Northeast Heights Albuquerque. His father Sam Bregman and his mother Jackie Bregman are both lawyers, and he has two younger siblings, Jessica and Anthony. His father played baseball as a freshman for the University of New Mexico Lobos in 1982, a team for which his uncle Ben Bregman also played; they both originally moved to Albuquerque to play baseball for the college on baseball scholarships. His father was also a part owner, starting in 2006, of the NBA Development League’s New Mexico Thunderbirds.
