Alex Bregman is relishing life in the Major League Baseball after signing for Houston Astros.

Outfielder Bregman, 22, is a specialist third base fielder and has been described as one of the top prospects by ESPN.

The son of two lawyers, he was the second overall pick in the 2015 MLB draft and was scheduled to debut against the New York Yankees.

"It's a dream come true," said an elated Bregman. "I'm ready to go to work, keep my mouth shut and hopefully help contribute.

He recalls the first thing he did after receiving a call from the Astros was call his mum. She was screaming down the phone in excitement,” he said.
