10/10/18 - Recent Central Arizona commit. Rangy 6-foot-4, 175-pound frame with significant projection remaining. Alexander put on by far his best performance in front of PBR, showing some added strength that is allowing him to drive the ball with more authority; 88 mph exit velo. Has also improved his rhythm in the box, starting slower and earlier and getting his foot down on time instead of early. Alexander is now taking advantage of his long limbs to leverage the baseball and some of the projectability we’ve always talked about is starting to show up. Posted a 7.16 60-yard dash. Also posted 86 mph infield velo and while he’s currently comfortable up the middle is likely to project best at 3B when his body reaches maturity. There's no doubt he's a terrific get for CAC and has a chance to become a high-D1 prospect on either side of the ball after his junior college career.

10/10/18 - 6-foot-4, 175-pound frame with enough broadness in shoulders to pack on significant mass as he matures. Two-way prospect is intriguing in both spots although I’d currently lean more towards the mound as the arm is ahead of the bat. Does not take a very direct path to home plate, swinging his stride leg around, creating a rotational lower half. Lands closed at times. Slight hook in back of arm action doesn’t seem to cause him any issues, as he’s able to get out front consistently. Fastball 84-85 mph, touching 87 with downhill plane and lots more velo on the way. Curveball was thrown in the zone with varying shape at 68-73 mph. Appears that it could benefit from being thrown harder as more of a mid-70’s slurve to eliminate the sometimes early break. Delivery isn’t overly conducive to a quality changeup, but he did show a couple at 73-74 mph. Top pitching prospect at the event due to ceiling.

6/27/18 - 6-foot-3, 175-pound frame. Alexander has always looked the part and is starting to scratch the surface of what he could be. Alexander looks even taller than his listed height and shows the same smooth, effortless actions and swing we've seen from him previously, registering an 83 mph infield velocity and an 87 mph exit velocity on this day. Posted a 7.07 60-yard. He's also recently taken up pitching, touching 85 from the right side with a clean arm action. Fastball featured arm side run. Breaking ball was thrown at 69-74 mph that flashed sharp downer break when released out in front. Change up showed sinking action at 71-73 mph. Could be very intriguing for a strong juco while he continues to develop physically and potentially reaches his very high ceiling.
