As Rising Apple’s Tim Boyle wrote last month, keep an eye on prospect Francisco Alvarez to be the New York Mets catcher of the future. And by future, I mean around 2023 because Alvarez won’t even turn 18 until November.
Let’s start with a FanGraphs scouting report:
Team Rank: 10 Overall Rank: NA Reported: 2019 – Updated
ETA: 2023
- Hit 25 / 55 (left side is current rating / right side is projected rating)
- Game Power 20 / 45
- Raw Power 50 / 50
- Speed 45 / 35
- Field 40 / 50
- Throws 55 / 55
- Future Value 40+
To compare to another young catcher here is the FanGraphs scouting report for Francisco Mejia of the San Diego Padres.
