Selected in the 11th round of the 2018 draft, Alexander played merely 73 games in Triple-A last year. However, a standout performance this spring secured his spot on the Opening Day roster.
The Diamondbacks wasted no time dusting off the offseason dust, as they recorded 16 hits in the first three innings.
It took them just three innings to tie their 2023 high for runs in a game.
