08/08/2011 - College PREP - Dublin (Columbus), OH Alex is a lean, athletic, 2-way player that catches and plays 2B. Behind the plate, Alex has a good idea, he has direct eyes to the ball, and he is an average receiver. He takes good angles when blocking, drops to the ground quickly, and is not afraid to get in front of the ball. Alex has good life in his body, he gains ground well, and is online to his target. Catching abilities can improve if Alex can quicken his exchange and add arm strength. In the INF, Alex has a solid approach, decent lateral movements, and good flexion. He has a decent backhand, okay transfer, and he throws with good accuracy to his target. If Alex can quicken his exchange and field the ball in better rhythm, INF skills can get better. At the plate, Alex is a strong hitter with a line drive approach. He has good balance and he puts the ball in play. Hitting can get better with an improved load, less head movements, and better use of his lower 1/2.
