Mar 2021 Report
Evaluator: Isaiah Burrows
Age: 23 yr
Height: 6-4
Weight: 195 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2016 Round 11
RuleV: On 40-Man Roster
Physical Description: Big-bodied frame on the mound. Solid height with added size to his upper and lower half. Broad shoulders and arms compliment trunkier thighs and waist. Near full maturity.
Delivery & Mechanics: Cleaned up parts of his delivery, but still needs improvement. Traditional windup and three-quarter slot delivery that lacks repetition. Long arm arm action stays inline through each pitch, lacks extension. Shows points of effort in delivery.
Fastball: Mid-90s offering with great spin. Fastball sits 93-94, touched 97-98 in instructs. Great spin and late life forces whiffs. Maintains velocity throughout his starts. Good late life at the top of the zone. Plus pitch in his arsenal. Grade: 60
Curveball: Mid-70s power breaking ball with solid 12-6 break. Improved its shape and consistency, shows signs of a potential plus offering. Loses command, sits in the zone at times. Grade: 55
Changeup: Low-80s changeup that is clearly behind his fastball and curveball. Pitch lacks depth and shape, gets barreled in the zone. Generates empty swings against righties occasionally, but needs more consistency to become a viable third pitch. Grade: 40
Control and Command: Effort in delivery affects his command on the mound. Has trouble locating his fastball early in counts. Curveball placement is iffy at times. Has strikeout stuff, but struggles putting away opposing batters. Struggles with commands limits his ceiling as a starter. Control: 40 | Command: 30
Overall: Alexy has improved his arsenal and parts of his delivery over the past two seasons, and the stuff is evident. His fastball and curveball are both power options that play well off one another. His high-effort delivery and struggles with command likely limit him to the bullpen.
