Biography

Walt Alexander, born in 1891, was a position player who had a brief career in Major League Baseball from 1912 to 1917. Over the course of 162 games, he compiled a batting average of .188, with 76 hits, 1 home run, and 24 runs batted in. Known for his speed on the bases, Alexander added 5 stolen bases to his career totals. Playing during the early 20th century, a period characterized by the deadball era, Alexander was part of a transformative time in baseball where strategic play and pitching dominance often overshadowed offensive output. Although his statistics may not reflect the high-powered performances seen in later decades, his contributions to the teams he played for were significant during an era focused on contact hitting and small-ball tactics. Alexander's career, though not long, remains a part of the rich tapestry of baseball history.
