Biographical Information

Alex Hugo has been on the USA women's national team.

Hugo hit 25 homers in softball at Georgia and 71 for her career, tied for 25th all-time as of 2022. Transitioning to baseball, she debuted for the US in the 2018 Women's Baseball World Cup, backing up Allison Hamilton in left field. Her first time to the plate was a pinch-hitter for Megan Baltzell late in a rout of the Netherlands; she was hit by a pitch from Maaike Haak. Her lone hit was off Carla Minier of the Dominican Republic. In the Bronze Medal Game, she was 0 for 2 against Amanda Asay of Canada before Kelsie Whitmore pinch-hit for her in a US loss. She finished 1-for-7 with a walk, two times plunked and two runs, handling four putouts in left.

Her next event was much better as she hit .652 with four homers and 18 RBI when Team USA won Gold in the 2019 Pan American Women's Championship; she won MVP and USA Baseball Sportswoman of the Year. She was back with the US for the 2023 Women's Baseball World Cup.
