11/7/15 The 6-foot-1, 180-pounder served notice that a breakout senior season could be on the horizon. Alvarez saw limited time on a talented Cougars' roster that brought home a 2015 AAA state title in West Virginia. The athletic outfielder showcased an accurate arm (85 mph) with solid straight line carry and the ability to play through the baseball. Alvarez ran a 6.75 60-yard dash and projects well at any of three outfield positions at the next level. The right-handed hitter starts from a square stance and utilizes a heel raise stride to initiate his swing. Alvarez generates solid barrel whip (87 mph bat exit) with a quiet load and above average hip turn. The senior displayed some present power and a feel for the barrel in a very good round of batting practice.
