This is what all the fuss is about. Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman is a perfect 9-for-9 when it comes to the MLB postseason.

Bregman debuted with the Houston Astros in 2016. The following season he helped the Astros win the World Series, beginning one of the most impressive runs in recent history.

With Bregman in the lineup, the Astros reached the playoffs for eight straight seasons. The 31-year-old left Houston after the 2024 season and took club’s playoff mojo with him.

The Astros missed the postseason this year, ending the fourth-longest run for most consecutive seasons reaching the playoffs in MLB history.

“The Astros played 99 postseason games in that span, winning two World Series championships, four American League pennants, made seven consecutive trips to the ALCS (2017-23) and captured seven AL West division titles in eight seasons,” MLB.com’s Brian McTaggart noted.

According to MLB.com, the only clubs with longer streaks for reaching the playoffs are:

• 1991–2005 Atlanta Braves: 14 seasons (no playoffs in 1994), 14 division titles, one World Series title

• 2013-2025 Los Angeles Dodgers: 13 seasons (active streak), 12 division titles, two World Series titles

• 1995-2007 New York Yankees: 13 seasons, 10 division titles, four World Series titles.

Bregman will continue his playoff streak on Tuesday when the Red Sox open their three-game American League Wild Card series with the Yankees in the Bronx.

The three-time All-Star has won 14 of the 20 playoff series in which he appeared. In 99 postseason games, Bregman has hit .238 with 19 home runs and 54 RBIs.

This year will be his third career wild-card appearance.

Bregman joined the Red Sox in February, signing a three-year, $120 million contract which includes an opt-out clause after the 2025 World Series.

He hit .273 with 18 home runs and 62 RBIs in 114 games while consistently drawing praise for his mentoring and clubhouse leadership.

The Red Sox have expressed interest in keeping Bregman in Boston, but in-season talks about a long-term contract didn’t lead to an agreement.
