Danny
Alvarado

Sturdy, developed frame at 6-foot-2, 220 pounds with strength throughout. Balanced, relaxed set-up with front foot slightly open to pitcher. Hands stay loose, relaxed. Uses low, controlled leg lift into forward stride. Hands showed a short, easy load into hitting position. Stays short, quick to the ball with a tight shoulder turn as he swings. Showed above average raw power, especially to his pul-side. Defensively, presents a big target behind the plate. Efficient footwork getting out of crouch and into throwing motion. Flashed a clean exchange on this look with a tight, compact arm action. ¾ release. Throws stayed on line with bag throughout. At 3B, moved well for a bigger framed athlete. Steady tempo/pace to fielding actions with soft glove hand. Arm action works for INF and should allow him to play either corner spot. Has the chance to be an impact bat if the raw power consistently translates to game play.
