01/15/2016 - Under Armour All-America Pre-Season Tournament Alex continues to shine as a two-way player with a physical frame. Offensively, he worked direct to contact with pull side pop hitting 89 mph with his exit velo. He had strong hands through the zone and worked with his hands and hips together to accelerate the barrel. Defensively at 1B, he was very sure with the glove to make plays and finish them, with a outstanding stretch. He worked his feet to throw and had a good arm stroke. On the mound, he threw a sinking FB, an 11/5 CB, and a CH. He gathered over the rubber to balance, and worked directionally to the target to pound the zone working downhill. He worked ahead of hitters and mixed his pitches well to keep guys off balance. Overall - Alex fits the mold of a hard hitting 1B that has strengths defensively.
