A key member of the BSM pitching staff on the Red Knights’ 2005 state tournament team, Alex Wahl returns to his alma mater for a second season to work with the pitching staff.

An all-conference honorable mention selection as a senior, Wahl was 8-0 in 2005 with a team-best 0.62 earned run average, allowing just 43 baserunners in 56.1 innings.

Wahl went on to pitch at St. John’s University where he made 29 appearances in three varsity seasons. He posted a 6-6 career record with one save and a 4.92 ERA for the Johnnies.

Alex’s brother, Zach, was also a BSM baseball player who earned honorable mention all-conference honors in 2010. The pair now play together for Northwest Suburban Redhawks, for which Wahl has played for six seasons and managed the last three. He was also an assistant to Fred Hennen with the 2008 Mickey Mantle Team.

A 2009 graduate of St. John’s, Wahl earned degrees in finance and accounting. He has worked as an accountant at United Health since 2009 and was married in 2010. Wahl and his wife, Amber, reside in Bloomington.
