Alex Bregman signed a three-year , $120 million contract with the Boston Red Sox .

The 31-year-old has played more than 1,000 games, whacked 200 home runs for the Houston Astros .

He is perhaps the smartest baseball mind in the game, a combination of film hound, analytics dork, scout and pure knower of ball gleaned from big league career.

The Houston Astros signed a $40 million -a-year contract with the Red Sox this year .

Bregman is hitting304/381/.567 with 10 home runs and 32 RBIs in 43 games.

Red Sox hitting coach Peter Fatse and assistants Dillon Lawson and Ben Rosenthal worked with him to fix his swing.

"Honestly, this has been the best I've hit in my career," he says.

Bregman 's arrival in Boston has changed the Red Sox clubhouse by bringing to it an edge.

He's always happy to pore over information and develop a detailed scouting report.

The Red Sox aren't taking for granted that a seasonlong jag almost certainly will precipitate him opting out of his contract.
