"Each blast was actually a good representation of how Wrigley Field could be a very friendly park for Alex Bregman's power. The gaps are more shallow than most parks, and although he got good distance on both of those balls, they weren't absolutely crushed."
"The first would've left just five ballparks, and the second, just eleven. But they had plenty of distance at Wrigley Field, and they were exactly the kind of ball you're hoping to see Bregman hit when he's at home."
"Alex Bregman credited his first two home runs as a Cub to Knox telling him to change his walk-up song."
Alex Bregman celebrated his 32nd birthday by hitting two home runs in his debut game with the Chicago Cubs. Both home runs demonstrated how Wrigley Field's dimensions could benefit his power hitting. The first home run would have only cleared five other ballparks, while the second would have cleared eleven. Bregman's approach to hitting is adaptable, as he is not solely reliant on pulling the ball. He credited his son for influencing his choice of walk-up song, which he believes contributed to his success.
