Wiry 6’ 165 frame with quick hands that provide easy lag in the zone. #PBRCup || @PBRTennessee pic.twitter.com/VAvKnBQTIv
‘25 SS Alexander Peck (TN) is about as premium of a defender as there is in the class. Silky smooth at short with elite actions.

Singles here in his third AB to the opposite field w/ a great diving play to follow it up.
