Alex Laird’s speed plays loud: Bowling Green’s spark-plug infielder with breakout base-stealing juice
In the 2026 season, Alex Laird has emerged as a high-impact runner and versatile infield piece for Bowling Green, highlighted by a program-record seven stolen bases in one game and 12 steals on the season by early April. He’s a right-handed, 6-foot-3 redshirt sophomore who brings length, athleticism, and a disruptive edge on the bases, while also showing he can contribute contact offense and run production. After an injury-shortened 2024, his 2025 rebound and 2026 speed burst suggest a player with real upside for a team that values pressure, energy, and game-changing chaos.
