Alex Alva Gets Region IX Player Of The Week

Sterling, Colo...

Northeastern's 5'9" sophomore Alex Alva got the Region IX Player of the Week nod as he had a solid week of the season at the plate.  Alva comes to NJC from Littleton, Colorado and plays the infield position for the Plainsmen.  During the past week of the 2022 season for the Plainsmen, they played Region leading Southeast Community College to finish off the regular season.  This is the fifth Plainsmen to receive the Region IX Player of the Week award this season.

During the week, Alva played all 3 games Northeastern competed in during the stretch.  In those games, Alex went to the plate 11 times, got a hit in 8 of those at bats and scored 6 times.  Those 8 hits included 2 doubles, 1 triple, 2 homeruns and 4 RBI's.  He also stole 2 bases as well bringing his season total to 32.  Big time batting rewarded Alva with a .727 batting average during the stretch.  Overall this season, Alva has a .389 batting average, .461 on-base percentage and a .558 slugging percentage.  Northeastern went 2-1 over the 3-game stretch with Alva's high level of play.

Northeastern needs players like Alex to continue the big play as the post season progresses to give the team a threat in the lineup in which other teams will have to be aware of.

Congrats to NJC infield player Alex Alva on being named Player of the Week for Region IX!  Keep up the great work!

The Plainsmen next take on Otero College at home this coming weekend for the 1st round of the Region IX baseball tournament.
