Houston Astros All-Star Alex Bregman's main motivation behind working with autism-focused organizations is Brady Columbus. Brady was diagnosed with autism at the age of three when Bregman played at Louisiana State University.

On April 19, 2022, Bregman's charity, Bregman Cares, and the Houston Astros joined hands and organized an Autism Awareness night. On that occasion, Brady threw out the first pitch with Bregman catching behind the plate.

Alex mentioned how Brady was nervous and had been preparing in the backyard weeks before his ceremonial first pitch in 2022.

Bregman's nonprofit organization, Bregman Cares, is currently developing new initiatives to benefit people with autism. Brady has definitely made a difference in Alex's life and has done so in a positive way. The Houston Astros star's influence has made it possible for him to improve the lives of so many children.
