Francisco Alvarez Justifies High Ranking With Big Day At High-A
4 years agoNew York Mets prospect Francisco Alvarez went 3-for-4 with two doubles on Sunday at High-A. The catching phenom now has a 133 wRC+ through 10 games at the level after a recent promotion that saw him move up from Low-A. At the lower level, Alvarez had a 227 wRC+ in 15 games. Combined, the young catcher has a .354 batting average, 11 extra-base hits, and a BB-K ratio of 19-15 in 25 games. What's even more impressive is that Alvarez is just 19 years old and playing against much older competition. This outburst helps to underscore why Rotoballer has him ranked as the second-best catching prospect for dynasty baseball behind Adley Rutschman and just ahead of Joey Bart.
