Alex Bregman has been on a roll in the past few matches for the Boston Red Sox. He’s on a 10-game hitting streak and just hit two home runs in the three-game series versus the Toronto Blue Jays away.
Bergman agreed to a three-year, $120 million deal and possessed significant potential heading into the season, given that the size of Fenway Park would make him feel at ease while batting. His performance to date has been nothing less than exceptional, and even his off-field engagements with Red Sox prospects have caught attention.
This is why MLB analyst Mark DeRosa praised the Boston Red Sox third baseman, referring to the seasoned hitter as both a statistical powerhouse and the cultural change the Boston Red Sox have required for a long time.
“I’m a fan of all that he contributes — engaging with young talent, his dedication to the sport, his desire to transform the Red Sox culture, and essentially carry that team forward,” DeRosa mentioned on MLB Network.
Alex Bregman has experienced an extraordinary beginning to the season with the Boston Red Sox.
Following Mark DeRosa’s declaration of Alex Bregman as a “culture changer,” he proceeded to commend the remarkable start Bregman has achieved at the outset of the 2025 season.
During March and April, Bregman is achieving a 176 wRC+ — which ranks as the fifth-best early-season figure of his career. DeRosa noted that Bregman usually begins slowly, then experiences a powerful surge in summer, but not in 2025.
Mention his performance at the beginning of the season: 2022 up to May—117 wRC+,” DeRosa noted.
“Following May?” He departs. 2023—unchanged. Began gradually, then accelerated. He regained his former glory with a 137 OPS+ for the remainder of the year. This year—a 176 wRC+ in March and April, the fifth highest of his career. What I admire most about Alex is his eagerness to improve.
Aside from the statistics, DeRosa lauded Bregman’s hitting technique. Bregman maintains his body “aligned with the pitcher like targeting a rifle,” utilizing visual indicators such as “beacons on his shoulders and hips,” according to the analyst.
In 32 games and 129 plate appearances, Bregman has a batting average of .326, with seven home runs and 26 RBIs. In the past 10 games, he has a batting average of .400, with three home runs, eight RBIs, and an on-base percentage of .490. He’s drawing the ball whenever he wants.
