Alex Bregman breaks through to the top of the Baseball Musings Batter Rankings. His home run Friday night provided the only two runs as the Rays beat the Astros 3-2. A rare 0 for 4 by Jose Altuve drops him to fourth. Mike Trout returned to the outfield Friday night and hit a home run and drew a walk to move into second place, just 0.64 points behind Bregman. Matt Carpenter ranks third, and a 1 for 3 night by Jose Ramirez brings him back into the top five.
I’m not sure that the general baseball audience thinks of Bregman as one of the best hitters in the game. He’s hitting .308/.376/.702 in June, with 20 of his 32 hits going for extra bases. His rise to the top is fueled by a recent extremely hot streak, 11 for his last 21 with two walks and nine extra base hits. It’s his seasonal age 24 season, so he still has time to improve.
