Enrique Alvarez Jr. brings left-handed pop and veteran versatility to FIU
In the 2026 season, Enrique Alvarez Jr. appeared in 29 games with 18 starts for FIU, hitting .176 with 13 hits, 1 home run, 2 doubles and 10 RBI while also posting a .980 fielding percentage at first base. He’s a flexible first base/outfield option with real bench-to-lineup value, and his best trait is power potential in a compact sample—he homered against Kennesaw State and delivered RBI hits in multiple key spots. The catch: the bat can run cold, so he profiles best for a team that wants experience, matchup flexibility, and some sneaky left-handed thump.
