Tennessee Pitcher of the Week: USJ LHP Alex Garrett



By Matt Byrd
Director of Scouting

There were several worthy players nominated for Pitcher of the Week, but in the end one pitcher stood out among the nominations we received for the award this week.

Alex Garrett had a dominant start last week to begin the season for University School of Jackson. On Thursday, March 12, the 5-foot-11, 155-pound junior lefty shut down the Bolivar Central offense in firing a complete game no-hitter to pick up his first win of the young season. Garrett racked up 14 strikeouts in the dominant outing and finished a first inning hit batter away from recording a perfect game.

For his performance on the field, Alex Garrett has been selected as the PBR Tennessee Pitcher of the Week for games played March 9-14.
