Alex DuBord joins the RedHawks for his third season of professional baseball after spending his previous two pro seasons with the San Francisco Giants organization. The Fargo South graduate was drafted by San Francisco in the 10th Round of the 2018 MLB Amateur Draft out of Faulkner University (Montgomery, Ala.). In 2019, DuBord split the season between the Arizona Rookie League and the short-season Class-A Salem-Keizer Volcanoes. In 14 combined appearances (5 starts) in 2019, he went 2-2 with a 7.52 ERA and 32 strikeouts in 26.1 innings of work. He did not play in 2020.

DuBord committed to play for Neosho County Community College (Chanute, Kan.) while he was in high school at Fargo South. He also played for the Fargo American Legion Post 400 in the summers. He followed several other area prospects to Neosho, including West Fargo standouts Matt Strahm and Andy Young, who have both gone on to play in the big leagues. In two seasons with the Panthers, DuBord went 11-3 with a 3.95 ERA and 82 strikeouts in 86.0 innings pitched. He transferred to Faulkner University (Montgomery, Ala.) for the 2018 season and helped the Eagles to a 54-7 record and the No. 1 seed in the 2018 NAIA World Series. He went 7-1 with a 4.01 ERA with 55 strikeouts in 51.2 innings in 2018 for Faulkner.
