2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Makes case for roster
Alexander started at designated hitter and went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's spring game against Texas.
ANALYSIS
Alexander is still hanging around major-league camp and can't be ruled out of a spot on the Opening Day roster. There isn't an everyday home for the prospect, but the infielder is batting .400 with five extra-base hits and three stolen bases through 18 Cactus League games. If he can handle multiple positions and the Diamondbacks are fine with him not getting regular at-bats, Alexander could be added to the roster. He's appeared in games at second base (12), third base (three), designated hitter (two) and shortstop (one).

2023 Fantasy Outlook
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.
