DON ALEXANDER

- 20

Senior Major:

- Pitcher

Business Administration Chula Vista, Ca.

Hometown:

Don enters his fourth Torero season. He has seen action in his DSD career mainly as a short relief man with some starts. In his second years he posted a fine ERA of 2.45. Don is a solid team player and a hard worker, as exemplified by his having won the Hustle Award in 1978.

He has developed a descent screwball and good change-up over the past two seasons. He is an off-speed pitcher who must rely on control and keeping the hitters off stride. Don will make a bid for the starting rotation, but having proven to be more affective throughout his career in a relief role, he will probably be used in that capacity. He came to USD from Hilltop High School in Chula Vista. While there he posted a 5 _ 1 record and a 2.75 ERA.
