Andreas Alvarez is Auburn’s steady sophomore strikeout starter with Friday-night upside
In the 2026 season, Andreas Alvarez has developed from Auburn’s midweek arm into a trusted starter, posting a 3.52 ERA with 103 strikeouts and 30 walks across 79.1 innings while earning starts in key series and the Super Regional opener. He brings real swing-and-miss stuff, has flashed double-digit strikeout dominance, and handled bigger moments well; his value is in his poise, competitiveness, and ability to miss bats without needing perfect command. If your team wants a tough right-hander who can grow into more, he’s a very appealing fit.
