The best third baseman in Astros history.

Here is Brian McTaggart’s ranking of the top third basemen in Astros history:

1. Alex Bregman, 2016-24
Key fact: Posted a 39.6 bWAR in nine seasons in Houston

One of the most popular players in franchise history, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2015 MLB Draft quickly became a star and was a cornerstone player on Astros teams that advanced to seven consecutive American League Championship Series, winning World Series titles in 2017 and ’22.
With Houston, Bregman was a two-time All-Star (2018-19), had two top-five AL MVP Award finishes -- including a close second behind Mike Trout in ’19 -- and he won a 2019 Silver Slugger Award and 2024 Gold Glove.

Bregman was one of the franchise’s most clutch players, highlighted by his walk-off single to beat the Dodgers in the 10th inning of Game 5 of the 2017 World Series and his Game 4 grand slam in the 2019 World Series. His 19 postseason home runs are among the most in Major League history.
