Scouting Report

• Small lefty with a 88-91 mph straight fastball. He also throws a 70-75 changeup and an average low-70s curveball. His curve can be sweeping at times, but also shows some 12-6 break on occasion. It's a work in progress, but he already missed bats with it. His change is pretty deceptive - it keeps batters off balance. Decent control, Alvarez pounds the zone but tends to leave the ball up too often, where he really can get hit around. ~ SoxProspects.com
