09/02/2012 - College PREP - Kansas City, MO Alex is a big, tall 1B that will graduate in 2014. Feet are active as he displays proper footwork around the bag and is a quality receiver. Hands are soft / clean but needs to be presented more out front and increase foot speed to improve defensive grade. Throws are accurate but needs to build more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate is where he shows best through an athletic setup. Hands are quick, flashing bat speed through a short / direct path to the ball. He shows a feel for the barrel with the ball jumping off his bat when centered, mainly to the pull side. Power numbers will continue to improve as he learns to use his lower half more. With 2 years to further develop, Alex has abilities with time and room to improve.
