Garth Alcala  
Second Baseman | Sask Yellow Jackets

Hitting
One of the nice things about Garth is that he's a real clutch hitter. The book on Alcala is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. Garth Alcala has made a career of putting the ball to the opposite field. That's rare in this day and age.

Baserunning & Defense
Alcala has earned a reputation as one of the smoothest-fielding second basemen around. Garth's arm leaves a little to be a desired. Alcala is an intelligent baserunner with average speed, but he's not a basestealing threat.

2025 Outlook
If Alcala doesn't perform, the Sask Yellow Jackets won't hesitate to send him down to the minors.
