2025 Fantasy Outlook
Alexander made the Diamondbacks' Opening Day roster last season and played his way into regular looks in April, finishing the month with a .941 OPS and three home runs. He then slashed only .210/.272/.229 with a 29.6 percent strikeout rate the rest of the way and spent most of the second half back in the minors. Alexander put up an .819 OPS versus lefties but just a .538 OPS against right-handers and much of his contact came on the ground with a 51.7 percent ground ball rate. The Diamondbacks are set at the three infield positions Alexander plays and none of them need a short-side platoon partner, so it might take an injury or two for the 25-year-old to see regular playing time with the big club.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
It's been a slow walk through the minors for Alexander, a 2018 11th-round draft pick that parlayed a strong 2022 season at Double-A Amarillo into a spot on the 40-man roster and shot at Triple-A Reno in 2023. He started strong but fractured a thumb in April that sidelined him for two months. The 24-year-old infielder finished with an .865 OPS and .281 average, fueled by a .398 BABIP. The power added in 2022 fell off, which may be attributed to the injury. The pop complemented his flashy fielding and arm (his best tool). As a shortstop by trade, Alexander sits behind Jordan Lawlar and Geraldo Perdomo on the major-league roster. As such, the organization introduced him to second and third base, but the same obstacles exist at those positions. Alexander may best be suited as a utility backup infielder.
The Diamondbacks elected to move Alexander up to the Double-A level to start 2022 even as he struggled mightily at High-A in 2021. He rewarded them with a big bounce-back campaign, collecting a .927 OPS with 17 home runs and 10 stolen bases before adding another couple dingers in a late-season Triple-A audition. Alexander was then added to the 40-man roster over the winter, putting him on the doorstep of the majors. The 23-year-old would be an option at shortstop for the D-backs should Nick Ahmed deal with more injuries, although Alexander might ultimately profile better as a utility player.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Role for 2025 unclear
SSArizona Diamondbacks  AAA
October 29, 2024
Alexander doesn't have a clear place on Arizona's big-league roster to begin 2025, according to Jack Sommers of SI.com.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old appeared in 61 games as a rookie in 2024 and had a .247/.321/.343 slash line with three homers and three stolen bases. Alexander spent the final five-plus weeks of the regular season in the minors, and there isn't a clear path to playing time based on the current roster construction. The likely re-emergence of top prospect Jordan Lawlar, who missed most of the season due to injuries, provides an additional hurdle for Alexander's path to consistent playing time.
