The Boston Red Sox entered this week in desperate need of a vibe shift. Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Texas Rangers was the team's fifth in its last six games, dropping its record back below .500 at 18-19.

Despite the Boston Red Sox sitting at a perfectly average 19-19 as we approach the quarter-mark of the MLB season, third baseman Alex Bregman has been on an absolute tear. Through his first 37 games in a Red Sox uniform, the 31-year-old is hitting .327 with nine home runs, 30 RBI, and a 1.093 OPS.

Alex Bregman is off to the best start of his career. But his mission isn't centered around individual achievement.
