Born: April 12, 1995. B-T: R-R. Ht.: 6-0. Wt.: 190. Drafted: Tulane, 2016 (3rd round). Signed by: Wayne Mathis.
Alemais’ stock dropped in his junior year at Tulane despite the fact that his numbers were no different than they were his sophomore year. The former high school point guard’s game has translated well to pro baseball, because he remains a very good defender and bat handler.
Alemais may be the smoothest, most fluid shortstop in the Pirates’ system, with good hands and excellent footwork. His range and arm are both solid to above-average and he has the ability to make the position look easy. His offensive game is less reliable, but he hit .317 in 30 games at high Class A Bradenton in 2017 after missing extensive time with a hand injury. His hit tool is average and his well below-aveage power is occasional at best, but he rarely strikes out.
Alemais likely will have to start 2018 at Bradenton again, with Cole Tucker at Double-A Altoona and Kevin Newman at Triple-A Indianapolis, but he has a chance to move up if there’s movement at the higher levels.
