Alex Bregman is a 6'0", 190 pound shortstop out of LSU who was drafted by the Red Sox out of a New Mexico high school in 2012, but did not sign. Bregman's most advanced part of his game is his hitting, and he is the best college hitter in the class, but some scouts think that is his only above average tool. My ratings of Bregman's future tool are 60 hit, 55 power, 55 run, 55 arm, and 50 field, but his fielding tool would be 55 if he moves to second base. Bregman's biggest question is whether he will be a shortstop or second baseman, and that debate has become one of the main debates in this year's draft, but I think that he will stick at short, due to his charging the ball on every play in front of him, and he has improved this year on defense, and should continue. During his swing, he takes a short, unexaggerated step in his swing, and uses a nice, short stroke that allows him to make consistent contact, which could make him a annual .300 hitter, but most scouts think that he will always have below average power, although others think he will be a guy who can hit 15 in a year. Bregman has had a good junior season at LSU, hitting .329 with 9 home runs, 47 RBI, and 32 stolen bases, plus he has walked 33 times to 20 strikeouts. The Twins are hoping that Bregman will fall to them, but it is looking more and more like he won't, as the Astros like him, as well as the Texas Rangers, but if he does they would likely take him, because he is a strong hitter, and would likely make it to the big leagues quickly.
