Two of the Astros’ youngest stars — All-Star third baseman Alex Bregman and shortstop Carlos Correa — recorded public service announcements on Friday night urging young people to take social distancing seriously during the coronavirus pandemic.

“Really take this (seriously),” Bregman said in the 30-second clip. “Especially people our age, young people, it may not affect you, but it can affect those you love and care about and people we love and care about.”

The 25-year-old Bregman requested viewers to maintain “good hand hygiene,” keep six feet away from others and avoid close contact. He invoked the “Houston Strong” mantra that first gained steam in 2017 during the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey.

“I hear a lot of millennials out there saying that they don’t care, they’re not going to let this affect them and they’re not going to die from this,” said the 25-year-old Correa in an Instagram video from his Houston home.

“I think now is a time to stop only caring about ourselves and start caring about other people. This is a virus that’s affecting a lot of people (and) a lot of families.”

That the infielders’ words targeted a specific demographic is of no surprise. Videos of carefree, young spring breakers overflowing Florida beaches surfaced earlier this week to much chagrin across the country. Other states have implemented sports figures as spokesmen to try and reach the youth.

LSU football coach Ed Orgeron recorded a PSA and conducted a news conference alongside Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards on Wednesday, striking a similar tone to the two Astros stars.

Last week, Major League Baseball canceled spring training and postponed opening day until at least mid-May. Bregman and Correa are among a host of Astros players who returned to Houston from West Palm Beach during the hiatus.

“Make sure you take this seriously and we’ll get through this like we always do,” Bregman said.

Added Correa: “If we fight together toward the common goal, we’ll get through this and get to flatten the curve. Baseball will be back soon.”
