HOUSTON, TX - The Houston Astros Player Development Department announced today that infielder Alex Bregman has been named the Astros Minor League Player of the Year, and right-handed pitcher Brady Rodgers has been named the Astros Minor League Pitcher of the Year.
Both players are currently with the Major League club and will be recognized in a pregame ceremony on the field prior to tonight's game.
Bregman, 22, hit .306 with 22 doubles, 20 homers, 61 RBI and a .986 OPS in 80 games between Triple A Fresno and Double A Corpus Christi before making his Major League debut with the Astros in July. A Double A Texas League Midseason and Postseason All-Star, Bregman was named the USA TODAY Minor League Player of the Year, becoming the first player in Astros history to win the prestigious award. 
The second overall pick in last year's draft, Bregman started at third base for the U.S. Team in the 2016 SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game and fell a home run shy of the cycle in a 3x5 performance. Bregman was also named the ESPN.com Prospect of the Year, and the MLB Pipeline Hitter of the Year.
