6-2 Switch-Hitting Infielder With Versatility and Freshman Upside
In the 2026 season, Alex Junghans is a redshirt freshman infielder for Xavier who brings a 6-foot-2, 190-pound frame, a lefty-righty bat, and the kind of positional flexibility coaches love. Xavier’s roster lists him as an infielder, while game logs show he has already been used in multiple roles, including a pinch-run appearance and time at second base, hinting at athletic utility rather than one-dimensional depth. He’s a good fit for a team that values adaptable defenders with upside, and his background at Wake Forest before landing at Xavier suggests a player still climbing.
