Brett
Alkire Jr

Uncommitted, ranked No. 143 in the state's junior class. Stands in a 5-foot-11, 155-pound wiry frame with more strength to come. Started on the mound and batted third. On the mound, worked three innings, allowing three hits and two earned runs while striking out five on a clean outing with no walks. Easy mover out of a stretch-only delivery with a quick arm path out of a high ¾ slot. Fastball sat 86-89 mph and touched 91, coming out clean with life through the zone. Mixed in a slider at 78-79 mph with sharp 11/5 shape at times. At the plate, finished 1-for-3 with an RBI and one run scored. An uncommitted junior to follow.

Uncommitted. Athletic 5-foot-9, 170-pound frame. Batted leadoff and played shortstop for the Bulldogs. The right-handed hitter was on the barrel multiple times, tallying two hits against St. Anthony. His swing works simple, loose and on-plane with a whole-fields approach. Defensively, he shows athletic actions and ranges well to both sides, with the potential to stick up the middle at the next level. A name to continue to monitor in the state’s sophomore class.
