EDGE Analysis

It's impossible to read too much into his numbers in rookie ball, as it would have only been noteworthy if he had struggled, given his age (20) and pedigree. Low-A will provide a much truer test, however, and with a strong finish to the season, Alvarez could finish the season as a top-50 prospect for dynasty leagues.
