It’s been quite awhile since we last checked in with pitching prospect Yadier Alvarez, and although the Dodgers have been very prudent with the advancement of the 20-year-old Cuban righty, he’s still turning heads with his raw talent on the lower levels of the farm.
After being promoted to Great Lakes from the Arizona League Dodgers earlier in the week, Alvarez made his Low-A debut against Kane County on Wednesday, dazzling all of those who were in attendance. He threw five solid innings and surrendered only three hits, one walk and one earned run, while striking out an impressive 10 Cougar batters.
