Alex Hugo

Alex Hugo has been a member of the USA Baseball Women’s National Team since 2018. She led them to gold at the 2019 COPABE Women’s Pan-Am Championship in Mexico and is a 2024 WBSC World Cup silver medalist. Hugo is the only two-time USA Baseball Sportswoman of the Year Award winner and has been recognized with multiple tournament MVP honors in her career. Last year, she stepped away from second base and into a player development and recruitment role, becoming special advisor to the Women’s Pro Baseball League (WPBL). “I really wanted the next generation of baseball players to have something stable to work towards, to have a league and a baseball platform in which they could pursue and thrive,” the infielder says. “I think with all my adventures within the sport, those players deserve a voice from someone who has been on [the] field and in their shoes.” Hugo hit the radar back when she was a softball starter at both the University of Kansas and the University of Georgia from 2012 to 2016. She also played for Team USA in 2018 at the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) Women’s Baseball World Cup. “I have been rewarded in so many ways; once in a lifetime baseball events, meeting some of the best people, and much more!” says Hugo. “But the best thing for me is being able to set a good example for my kids, and every little girl who dreams of playing at a high level.” –MH
