Episode Details

On this episode of Vikings Press Pass, I’m joined by fifth-year Senior Alex Simon from the Baseball team. We dive into his decision to return for another season. Alex breaks down his versatility on the field—playing third base, catcher, first base, and DH—and shares his thoughts on the Vikings’ season so far, including their battles in close games. We also discuss the art of switch-hitting, how a childhood game really influenced him to become a switch-hitter. We talk about the lasting mark he leaves statistically at Augustana, but more importantly as a great teammate. Off the field, Alex talks about his work as a Geospatial Engineer , his plans after baseball to move to Florida, and we learn his middle name is Wrigley (Go Cubs Go!). A great conversation with a standout Viking—don’t miss it!
