The Texas Rangers World Series championship was a historic win not only for the franchise but for San Antonio fans who have followed rookie Josh Jung.
The All-Star third baseman was born and raised in the Alamo City. Jung starred at MacArthur High School, then became a Big 12 All-Conference player at Texas Tech before heading to the majors.
Alfieri was Jung’s head coach at MacArthur from 2013 to 2016. The longtime NEISD baseball coach said Jung is one of the most humble persons he’s ever met and coached.Jung comes from a baseball and teaching family. His younger brother Jace is in the Detroit Tigers’ farm system. His dad was a coach and a teacher, and his mom is still a PE teacher at NEISD.
Alfieri said it was apparent early on that Josh was a leader in the locker room and on the diamond. Jung worked hard and became an all-star starter this past season and is now a World Series champion.
