Cleveland Pitcher Alex Larvie Commits to Glendale Community College

Alex Larvie, a right handed pitcher for Cleveland High School, formally announced his commitment to play baseball at Glendale Community College in Arizona on December 23, 2025. Larvie will compete at the National Junior College Athletic Association level, a common route for players seeking to develop their skills while earning college credits.

Larvie’s progression through Cleveland High’s program was highlighted by coaches as a steady development that made him ready for collegiate competition. Staff at the school described improvements in his consistency and competitive maturity over recent seasons, and they framed his signing as the result of persistent training and support from the local program. Larvie expressed gratitude toward family members and the coaches who helped him through his high school career, and he completed the formal signing process on the December 23 date.

For Cleveland High School and Sandoval County, Larvie’s commitment carries local significance. High school programs often measure success not only in wins but in how many athletes move on to play at the college level. Larvie’s decision to join Glendale Community College reinforces Cleveland High’s track record of preparing players for next level opportunities and may boost the program’s visibility for future recruiting and community support. For families in the county, a pathway to college baseball that includes the NJCAA can also reduce the financial and logistical barriers to collegiate athletics, since community colleges typically carry lower tuition and shorter eligibility pathways.

Larvie’s next steps include joining Glendale Community College’s roster and integrating into its pitching program for the upcoming season. At the NJCAA level he will have opportunities to develop against collegiate competition and to pursue transfer options to four year institutions if he and coaches deem that the next step. For the local community, Larvie’s commitment is a reminder that Sandoval County athletes can reach collegiate rosters, and it provides a tangible example for younger players in youth leagues and high school summer programs.

As winter transitions to the next baseball cycle, observers in Rio Rancho and surrounding communities will watch how Larvie adapts to college play and how Cleveland High continues to cultivate talent that moves on to collegiate opportunities.
