Sam Dyson's ex-girlfriend opened up about the pitcher's assault charges in 2020: "I’m absolutely terrified of what he’s capable of doing" 

Sam Dyson's ex-girlfriend Alexis Blackburn once expressed concern for her safety while revealing shocking information about her relationship with the former MLB pitcher. Truly, Alexis' narration was emotionally draining.

In November 2019, Blackburn took to her Instagram to pen a post about her ex-flame Sam Dyson's abusive behavior which led the MLB to open an investigation.

In January 2020, both Sam and Alexis were questioned by police in Jupiter, Florida. The 20-minute interrogation was recorded by the Florida police department where Alexis Blackburn said Sam had been physically violent toward her for years. During the interview, Alexis also expressed concern for her safety because Dyson possessed guns.

“I’m absolutely terrified of what he’s capable of doing."

Interestingly, Sam also admitted to being verbally abusive toward Alexis in the interrogation.

However, when asked about physical abuse, the former SF Giants' pitcher said:

"Honestly, I don’t remember.”

More power to Alexis for finding the courage to come out with her story after a lot of deliberation.
