Alex Bregman named American League Player of the Week.
You could tell immediately from the get-go of the 2022 MLB season that Alex Bregman was back to his old ways. There was no subtle limp when he ran, like there was last season when he had a balky hamstring, and there was no tentativeness to his swing at the plate, like he had last postseason from a nagging wrist injury.
The opening series win against the Angles was great for any number of reasons, but no bigger reason than it would appear that the 2019 MVP runner-up version of Bregman is back. For the weekend, Bregman batted .429 with two home runs, six RBI, four runs scored, and a 1.286 OPS. The Astros third basemen also recorded a multi-RBI game in all three of his starts last week. He was sparking defensively in the field, as well.
For his efforts, Bregman was named the American League Player of the Week for the week of April 7th through 10th. This marks the second career AL Player of the Week award for Bregman and his first this season. Bregman becomes the first Astros player to win AL Player of the Week since Justin Verlander did so in September 2019, which is crazy to think that the Astros have gone over two full seasons without a Player of the Week winner.
The best part about Bregman's return to his prime form is, for the first time since the Astros were punished for stealing signs, we have peak Alex Bregman back, as he spent most of 2020 and 2021 battling injuries which led to underperformance. So when Angels fans are screaming"CHEATER!" during Bregman's at-bat's, it's nice to see him respond like this:
