CHARLESTON, WV - Stephen Alemais spent the offseason doing what Little Leaguers dream about — working on his swing with Carlos Beltran and Jose Reyes. Throughout the winter, Alemais posted videos of his training and workouts, which Tim Williams analyzed in a detailed report this March. Alemais sees a lot of himself in Reyes.
“We’re both very contact-oriented, though Reyes is a very fast runner,” he said.
At the tail end of the 2016 season, Alemais got a taste of Low-A ball with the Power, but he struggled at the plate in a league that features a greater reliance on off-speed pitching.
