Alex Cheeseman is UAB’s gritty veteran infielder: speed, versatility, and glue-guy value
In the 2026 season, Alex Cheeseman played in 27 games and made five starts for UAB, contributing five stolen bases, four hits, and three RBI while splitting time at second base and shortstop. He’s the kind of player coaches love: a seasoned four-year Blazer with real roster stability, infield flexibility, and baserunning pop that can change an inning. UAB’s own coverage calls him one of the returners to watch heading into 2027, which tells you the staff values his reliability and experience even when the stat line stays modest.
