12/27/2009 - Christmas Camp and Tournament #2 Alex participated in the Pirate City Christmas Camp, but unfortunately he hurt his shoulder. Prior to his injury, he showed at the plate and demonstrated good balance, set-up, and a proper load. Getting his front foot down sooner and not barring his arms can help his hitting improve in the future. Alex handled the injury well and participated as much as he could throughout the event--he is a very coachable player.
