In his last 21 games, Bregman has nine home runs and nine doubles. He finished 3-for-5 in Saturday’s 12-6 win, pushing his OPS past .900 for the first time all season. No other Astro is above .900. Only one American League third baseman, Jose Ramirez, surpasses him.
“He’s doing everything right in the batter’s box as far as seeing the ball, his selectiveness. His approach is A-plus. Bat to ball has been exceptional,” manager A.J. Hinch said. “He can really hit.”
Bregman’s 12-game hitting streak is the longest in the American League. He punished James Shields, a reinvented 35-year-old veteran, for falling behind with a man in scoring position in the sixth inning of a one-run game. White Sox manager Rick Renteria, too, for trying to squeeze another inning from his languished starter.
Ahead in the count 2-0, Bregman received a four-seam fastball. It settled at his letters and, soon, into a fellow’s hand in the left-field seats. The baseball exited Bregman’s bat at only 95 mph but possessed a 29-degree launch angle and traveled 385 feet. In this ballpark, to left field, its fate is sealed.
So, too, was the game.
“He can put together an at-bat, and that’s really saying something when you’re talking about the length of time that he’s been able to put it together,” Hinch said. “It’s not just a little hitting streak or a good series or a good couple weeks. It’s a pretty consistent quality at-bat.”

He is raking. I knew he'd be a good pro but I didn't think he would be this good. Im happy for him.

Hey Cotton, if that phrase is not copyrighted Lynn Rollins will definitely use it at some point next year during an LSU game.
