For Astros' Alex Bregman, spring debut also means adapting to new pitch clock
Astros third baseman Alex Bregman made his Grapefruit League debut Friday and got his first taste of MLB's new pitch clock.WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — In the final at-bat of his first Grapefruit League game, Alex Bregman barreled a pitch to his pull side, the sort of swing that’s encouraging this early in camp.
“The swings felt good in the cage,” Bregman said with a smile, “but couldn’t really think today running back in trying to swing.” “It was fast, but it’s out of my control, so I just have to learn and adapt,” Bregman said. “Everyone their first few games is just looking at the clock the whole time, not really paying attention to anything but just watching the clock and learning to adapt, get a feel for it. It’s definitely different, but out of our control, so we just want to figure out how to adapt to it and keep going.”
