We interviewed Bluejays prospect Alex Almalfi who played for the Fisher Cats (Bluejays AA) this past season. Alex was adopted from Moscow, Russia at just two years old, a chapter of his life he reflects on fondly but doesn’t remember clearly. He recalls his first introduction to baseball around the age of four, saying, "Ever since then, I just loved the game."
Alex chose to attend the University of Massachusetts, Boston, drawn by the school's winning culture and beautiful campus. He reflected on his time in summer leagues, like the Worcester Bravehearts, where he faced higher-level competition: "It was really good for me to play in those to see that I can compete at a higher level."
As Alex continues his journey in professional baseball, his story serves as an inspiration to young athletes everywhere—showing that with dedication, support, and a love for the game, anything is possible. To hear more about Alex's story and his insights on the game, tune into the full episode! #Bluejays50 #Bluejays #Fishercats #Torontobluejays #bluejaysbaseball
