Positional Profile: C/1B
Body: 6-0, 190-pounds.
Hits: RHH.
Power: 93 max exit velocity, averaged 84.9 MPH. 338' max distance.
Arm: RH. C-79 mph.
Defense: 2.00-2.07 pop times.
Strong, athletic build at 6-foot, 180-pounds, running a 7.17. Loose easy swing at the plate, showing the ability to drive the ball gap-to-gap. Most impressively were his catch and throw skills. Alford works through the ball quick and clean and his throws are true and accurate. His 2.00 best pop was good for second best at the event.
