Alexa North gives Mercyhurst a power arm with strikeout upside
In the 2026 season, Mercyhurst pitcher Alexa North has shown swing-and-miss stuff, including a 10-strikeout outing against CCSU, which hints at real bat-missing ability when her mechanics are locked in. She’s a durable innings-eater with a 5'9" frame and a right-handed delivery that gives the Lakers a competitive starting option, but her season line has also had bumps, so the profile is more “high-upside workhorse” than finished product. If a team wants toughness, rotation depth, and a pitcher who can miss bats, she’s a legit fit; if it wants polished command and cleaner consistency, there’s still development ahead.
