Alexander Fernandes: SS/OF, (2025) Austin Prep, MA. 5-foot-7, 165-pound athletic lean frame. Projectable during batting practice, the right-handed hitter's best exit velocity was 92 mph. (63.7 mph bat speed average). (18.0 mph hand speed average). Starts in a balanced wide stance with a low load, then uses a closed small stride. Bat speed was developing, had a flat swing plane and level finish. He barreled up lots of balls with loud contact. Gap to gap approach. Projectable while in the infield, registered his best throw across the diamond at 78 mph; has developing hands, a natural exchange, and developing athletic feet. Fields the ball out front, movements laterally were developing athletically. Decent accuracy to the bag, used a consistent arm action and a high ¾ slot.
