The Athletics have agreed to a major league contract with free agent left-hander Scott Alexander, MLBTR has learned.
Alexander has never missed many bats, instead relying on a sinker that's produced a mammoth 68.4% ground-ball rate to help him neutralize opposing lineups.
Throughout his career, Alexander has shown a noticeable platoon split. Left-handed hitters have mustered a miserable .218/.274/.3111 batting line against him through 442 plate appearances, while right-handed hitters have turned in a far better .275/.349/.377 slash.
