Bregman's #'s show how bad the bats are in college baseball, he wasn't close to those power numbers because the approach has to be different in college baseball, bring bat a better aluminum bat to college baseball.

Bregman has said he was told in college basically not to hit home runs but to hit for contact. I don't know how much that has to do with the bats and how much it had to do with Mainieri's strategy. Whatever the case, it was clear Bregman had power when he was in high school. He hit 14 home runs at a showcase HR derby his senior year.
