Pedro Alvarez dives into outfield work during first game in right field
After signing on Monday to a minor league deal, Pedro Alvarez wears his new outfield glove during a workout at Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota. Manager Buck Showalter said he'll play the outfield exclusively in camp and he's "going to be surprised if he can’t do it."Pedro Alvarez only got one defensive chance Friday during his outfield cotillion in the Orioles’ B game, but his handling of it showed there was little apprehension about the move that could resurrect his career.
Alvarez had one defensive chance, a sinking line drive in the right-center field gap. It landed a few steps from him, but Alvarez dove and snared it to hold the runner to a single.
