Right-handed pitcher Alec Sparks is the most recent Lake Country DockHounds signee for the 2026 season, year five of baseball in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. When Sparks suits up for the DockHounds, it’ll be his professional debut after pitching in the MLB Draft League this summer following his completion of school at Nicholls State.

Sparks’ senior season as a Colonel was widely successful, posting a 3.63 ERA in 12 starts across 72 innings while striking out 66 batters. He spent one other season at the Division I level, pitching 58.2 innings in 2023 for the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs.

In eights starts with State College Spikes in the Draft League, Sparks was even more impressive with a 2.63 ERA across 41 innings. He now takes the recently popular journey from the Draft League in a climb to the American Association, where it has become common for young professional to break through. We excited for Sparks to next his step at Wisconsin Brewing Company Park.
