Alex Bregman

Alex Bregman started 2022 off slowly, but his bat came alive in the second half of the season. He hit 23 homers with 93 RBI and 93 runs scored while batting smack in the middle of one of the most dangerous lineups in baseball. His BABIP was slightly lower than his career average, meaning fantasy managers could see a small bump in batting average. Sure, he doesn't run anymore, but if you need to shore up your runs and RBI category, you can't really beat the guy in the on deck circle after Jose Altuve, Jeremy Pena, and Yordan Alvarez get on base. If you wait on third base, Bregman should be your target.

Alex Bregman, who broke his finger during the World Series, has reportedly healed well. The star third baseman resumed swinging a bat on January 1 and is trending in the right direction ahead of Spring Training.

Fantasy Impact

Bregman improved at the plate from 2021 to 2022, slashing .259/.366/.454 with a 13.3% BB%, 11.7 K%, and 136 wRC+ last year. He also slugged 23 homers, which was his highest mark since 2019. Bregman should continue to be viewed as one of the top third basemen in 2023 fantasy baseball.
