Miami’s breakout switch-hitting catcher with real middle-of-the-order pop
Alvarez looked like one of Miami’s most reliable bats in his freshman season, hitting .341 with a .439 on-base percentage, .551 slugging percentage and a .990 OPS while starting 45 of 51 games and earning Freshman All-American honors. His value goes beyond the stat line: he’s a switch-hitter, handled a growing workload behind the plate, and surged late with a .583 finish over Miami’s final six games, signaling confidence and competitive edge. If you want a catcher who can hit for average, deliver extra-base damage, and keep climbing, he’s a strong fit.
