Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Alex Bregman signed a 5-year, $175 million deal with the Chicago Cubs in January 2026 as a three-time All-Star. Through 40 games, he is batting .233 with a .661 OPS, 3 home runs, 5 doubles, and 13 RBIs. He has been slumping recently, batting .160/.300/.200 over his last 14 games with 12 strikeouts. However, recent analysis suggests his power is returning with improved line drive rates (22.9%) and decreased groundball rate (37.5%). He has performed well in high-leverage situations (.368/.429/.526, 164 wRC+) and has been praised for his leadership and defensive contributions. The Cubs are 27-16 and winning despite his slow offensive start. He is dealing with a sore toe but has been cleared to play.
