AS A BULLDOG:
2018: Suffered an upper body injury one month into the year and was subsequently granted an extra year of eligibility as a medical redshirt ... had made six appearances to that point, starting in five of those ... threw threw innings and allowed only three hits while fanning eight (a 2018 UMD single-game high) in his lone victory of the year -- a 7-3 takedown of Upper Iowa on March 29.
2017: Started once while being called upon in five games ... struck out four in 3.0 innings of relief against Ashland University ... surrendered just one run in final 4.2 innings of relief work.
2016: Toed the rubber in 13 games spanning 25.2 innings including one start ... tied a rather dubious program record with five wild pitches in his lone start of the season against St. Joseph's on March 7, but had just two more in 19 innings after that date ... did not allow an earned run in five start appearances spanning eight innings from April 23 until May 14 ... made short work to get his first win of the season, getting one out against Minnesota State on March 29 ... picked up his second win, striking out four batters in 5.0 innings against Augustana (S.D.) in the NSIC Tournament on May 14.
2015: Took the mound for 11 appearances including four starts ... allowed just four earned runs in 8.0 innings out of the bullpen ... picked up his first collegiate victory with 2.0 shutout innings against Sioux Falls on Mar. 21 ... tossed 5.0 shutout innings, striking out five in his best start of the season, earning a win over U-Mary on Apr. 26.
BEFORE UMD: A 2014 graduate of Woodstock High School ... started four seasons as a shortstop and pitcher for coach John Oliviera and the Blue Streaks ... named Second Team All-Area by the Northwest Herald ... earned All-Fox Valley Conference as a junior ... posted a 0.80 ERA with 55 strikeouts in 35 innings as a junior ... also played golf as a three-time All-Conference selection and earned three letters as a guard in basketball.
PERSONAL: Born Alex Robert Ferguson in Woodstock, Ill. ... is the son of Susan and Todd Ferguson ... has one sister, Katie ... his cousin, Maureen Stormont played for the UMD soccer team (2011-14) ... is majoring in health care management at UMD.
