12/27/2011 - Under Armour Recruiting Classic - 2011 This week in Arizona, Alvarez displayed the ability to be aggressive and center the ball well in the infield. His defensive abilities should continue to develop as he learns to field the ball out in front of his body. At the plate, he is short to the ball and has good plate discipline. His tools at the plate should continue to improve as he learns to create some torque and fire his hips to contact. With two more years of high school baseball still remaining Alvarez has the opportunity to continue to develop his skills in preparation for the next level.
