re: Alex Bregman homers twice in Astros' win( tied HR in AL with 17)

He was at LSU at the wrong time.
He hit so many at LSU to the warning track.
They had to make an effort to not hit fly balls.
It had actually hurt their development from a hitting standpoint.
You talk to Bregman now, and even he admits college baseball did not prepare him as much as minor league ball would have other than from a maturity standpoint but Bregman is one of the few that came to LSU and never stopped working.

Stature wise, I don't think he's on PED's. He's always been a small guy and that's not changing. His command of the strike zone is really good. He just does a really good job of squaring up in most of his plate appearances and understands how they pitch him, that's hard to teach. If not for that high school injury, he never would have made it to LSU.
