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

Stat Review
How does Blaze Alexander compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Role for 2025 unclear
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.
