Alex Huth is 14th in Minnesota with one outright tournament win

Alex Huth has 62 tracked tournaments to his name. Everybody else in the 2026 Minnesota top 25 except one player has at least 71, and most have well over 100.

He is fourteenth anyway, on 147.54 points from a full 20-event calendar. That is what a short but dense season looks like in a scoring system that counts your best twenty results: if you play twenty and finish respectably in all of them, you do not need three years of history to bank points.

The state of the record

• 62 tracked tournaments, 11 podiums, one outright win
• 300 games, a 37.6% game win rate, 79th percentile of 285 ranked players
• 116 machines on file
• 14 consecutive months with an entry, a streak that is still running
• Form: 83% over the last ten games against a 57% baseline

That form line is the standout. A 26-point gap over baseline is the second-largest in this year's top 25, behind only Bryan Moen's perfect ten. Something has clicked in the last month.

The one win, and the one that came with company

His outright win is the Broken Clock 3-Strike in August, out of 25 players, on August 15.

The bigger result was the LITT February 2026 Open, a 79-player field where four players finished tied at the top of qualifying and the standings record a first place for each. Seventy-nine entrants is the second-largest field in the state this season, and coming out of it level with three other people is a substantial result however the record books score it.

Those two are the whole win column. Everything else in the 147 points came from finishing well.

A spread with no home

Six rooms in 62 events, which is the widest spread relative to events played of anybody in the list. His best average finish is at Blainbrook at 2.07 across four visits, and his worst is at Northstar at 2.55 across seventeen.

That Northstar number has an obvious cause. It is the room where the state's No. 1 plays, and their record is 15-1 with a tie in seventeen games.

The Juelich anomaly

Against Zac Juelich, ranked fourth this year, Huth is 13-5 with two ties across 20 games. That is 70%.

Ten places of ranking separate them and the head-to-head goes the other way by a wide margin. This is the single most useful thing in his file, and it is a reminder that a state ranking is a sum of results against a whole field rather than a transitive ordering. The full record is here.

The rest:

The Fleming record is his deepest at 43 games and sits at 45.3%. Acre-Kendall is dead level at 9-9 with five ties.

The expensive ones: Luke Nahorniak at 1-15-1, Mark Larson at 3-14, Eric Fryc at 2-9-4, and Jack Copeland at 3-7-4.

Machines, with an honest caveat

That is the complete qualifying list. Six machines clear the games threshold, one of them scores above 0.6, and the rest sit within a hair of average. With 116 machines on file and only 300 games, nothing has accumulated enough depth to say much.

Elvira's House of Horrors at 0.649 is the only positive signal, and eight games is eight games. What the spread does show is a player without a disaster machine, which matches a profile built on podiums rather than wins.

What the season needs

Fourteenth place on 62 events and one outright win is a position built on floor rather than ceiling. The form line says the ceiling is currently moving. He was ninth of 20 at the Super Ball XL finals on September 19, in a 20-player field that held nine other names from this list.

If you draw him

The scouting data is thin enough that the honest answer is to play your own game. His per-machine samples are too small to point at a reliable weakness, and nothing on his list is a strength you need to avoid.

The head-to-head tool will tell you more than the machine list will, particularly if you have shared a few tournaments. The rest of the 2026 top 25 is here.
