Alvarez wouldn't be the hot new thing if it weren't for DH. I love DH.
No DH right?
Damn. I read the box score wrong. Yeah, two strikeouts.
Now that we've discovered Alvarez is human. What were his at-bat like? No strike-outs which is good. Was he just unlucky today?
I like this one. Alvarez has the consistent power and contact to be the ideal cleanup hitter with Correa protecting. You can't pitch around...
YorDaMan Alvarez
I think at worst, he is going to be a poor man's Aaron Judge. He's proven that he has the same power because that's measurable. He's also shown in...
Wow!!!
Unless you can throw some 98 mph heat, you are at his mercy. He's just so patient, and waits for his pitch which he always hammers.
Ridiculous power period.
Yordan hits off speed pitches so well. It seems like if you don't have a 95 mph fastball, you are at his mercy.
It's pretty much a given now that if he hits the ball, it's going to be hard. He just hit the crap out of the ball.
NOT YET!!!
I didn't see the last game. I just saw that he walked 3 times. Was he intentionally walked or were they all earned? His OBP is nuts.
I was looking at center fielder's only. Still, his numbers show that he has become pretty disciplined for a power hitter.
I must have been looking at some bad stats
His bb/so ratio is .760 this season in the minor leagues. The only player that has a ratio above .560 in the majors this season is Mike Trout...
No strikeouts which is probably the better sign. He swung at good pitches.
Yeah, he's only batting .500 at the moment. Underachieving.
