Slider 50 81-83 83 SL 81-83; fringe-average at present; sweepy; some depth with decent action; fair control of pitch; comfortable throwing to both sides.
Overall

While not the most exciting profile, Alexander's arsenal plays up given his plus control of everything and improving command. Fairly low-risk profile and could reach his back-end rotation ceiling sooner rather than later.

Control- 60/60
Command- 45/55
