MOKAN Preseason All-State Spotlight: Anthony Alvarez
January 22, 2023
As we quickly approach our most talented event of the year, the MOKAN Preseason All-State, PBR Kansas will highlight some of the top players already slated to be at the event. Today, we take an in-depth look at 2024 INF Anthony Alvarez. The quick twitch and lean outfielder is a smooth runner who will likely continue to see his 60 time drop as he builds strength in his lower half. Offensively, the left-handed hitter uses his wiry 6-foot, 160-pound frame to flash some pull side pop with exit velos close to 93 mph. Alvarez will look to show off additional size and strength at the upcoming MOKAN Preseason All-State.
