“Blaze Alexander was only projected to appear in 29 big-league games with a .643 OPS, but he had a nearly .900 OPS for a couple of months at Triple-A Reno before becoming one of Arizona’s regulars in early July,” Miller wrote.
“And when the Snakes traded away Eugenio Suárez, Alexander stepped right into that void with seven home runs and an .881 OPS in August. It looks like they’ve found what could be their primary third baseman for the next half-decade.”
