Is Alex Bregman the greatest MLB player to ever come out of LSU?

I feel like I’m forgetting someone obvious. Only other one close I can think of is Albert Belle. Aaron Nola’s in his prime right now having a good run. There’s been a lot of good ones like DJ LeMahieu, Ben McDonald, Todd Walker, Brad Hawpe but I don’t think they measure up. I gotta be forgetting someone major.

Bergman’s glove sets him apart from Bell. But Bell was a blast to watch in the batters box.

Alvin Dark played 14 years, managed 11 years and won a world series as both a player and manager. He lost three prime years due to military service, otherwise he would probably be in the HoF. Bregman may surpass him but right now I'd say Dark has had the more significant career.

I forgot about Brian Wilson. he did have a good career. Some other solid careers were Ryan Theriot, Mike Fontenot, Aaron Hill, Paul Byrd, and Kevin Gausman(still going strong).

^^^shoutout to Alvin Dark too.

huh, and all this time I thought Alvin Dark was the black man that stood on Alvin Dark avenue in tigerland and waved at every car that passed by. He was out there all the time waving when I was in school c. 2010-2012

I love Bregman like no other. But DJ LeMahieu now has 4 gold gloves and holds both NL and AL batting titles in 12 seasons.

Hard to say Bregman is a better big leaguer than DJ at this early stage of his career. I think Bregman certainly is on track to be the greatest big leaguer out of LSU, and likely will be able to claim that title before too long.

You need to add in DJ LeMahieu.

If you’re judging based on WS appearances and wins Chad Ogea is up there too

I'd take Belle and DJ both 100/100 times over bregman

I mentioned DJ LeMahieu in the OP. I think he’s definitely not far behind Bregman.

But if you asked MLB people about Bregman vs. LeMahieu most would give the edge to Bregman.

That because you have a dick currently stuck in your throat and it's cutting off your air supply and thus the irrational thought.
