Biographical Information[edit]

Pitcher Jason Alexander is the brother of major league pitcher Scott Alexander and minor leaguer Stu Alexander. His college career was upended when he had to undergo Tommy John surgery shortly after transfering to California State University, Long Beach in 2014. He was not ready to pitch again until 2017, and had to transfer to Menlo College to do so, having exhausted his NCAA Division I eligibility in the meantime. He was never drafted and signed his first professional contract with the Los Angeles Angels on June 21st of that year.

He pitched in the Angels organization form 2017 to 2019 reaching AAA with the Salt Lake Bees briefly in 2018 and for a longer stint the final season, although he was ineffective at that level, posting a record of 3-5, 9.36 in 12 games after pitching well in AA earlier in 2019. When many major league organizations trimmed their minor league rosters in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, he was one of the victims, getting his walking papers on June 5th. One year later, in April of 2021, he managed to sign as a free agent with the Miami Marlins. He made one start with the AA Pensacola Blue Wahoos and a second one with the AAA Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, both going well, then had to go on the injured list on June 1st and was out of action until early september. He continued to pitch well after returning to Jacksonville and ended the year at 1-1, 1.37 in 7 games. He became a free agent again after the season and signed with the Milwaukee Brewers at the end of November.

He started the 2022 season with the AAA Nashville Sounds and did very well over the first two months, going 6-2, 2.64 in 9 games, incuding 7 starts, then was called up to Milwaukee. He made his major league debut on June 1st as the starting pitcher against the Chicago Cubs. He gave up 3 runs (2 earned) in 7 innings but was not involved in the decision as the Brewers lost, 4-3, in 10 innings.
