Francisco Alvarez was born on Monday, November 19, 2001, in Guatire, Miranda, Venezuela. Alvarez was 20 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 30, 2022, with the New York Mets. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Francisco Alvarez baseball stats page.
"Even if he didn’t play a premium position at catcher, Álvarez would be one of the most exciting offensive prospects in baseball. His swing is whip-like from the right side and helps him barrel balls easily to all fields. He has tremendous raw power that is already been of use in games. His 24 total homers in 2021 were second-most among Minor League teenagers, and he would have hit for more if he didn’t play at pitcher-friendly Coney Island. Buck Showalter’s Major League staff certainly took note of Álvarez’s plus-plus pop in the spring, noting that his homers looked Major League-quality even then. All that said, Álvarez’s profile does get a boost from his ability to play behind the plate. New York officials acknowledge he has been working diligently to become even an average defensive backstop, hoping his framing and blocking can at least come close to his bat. His plus arm is an asset at least, though he needs to improve his throwing. Regardless, Álvarez’s power could help the youngster become one of the game’s best offensive backstops once he reaches Queens, and he has the bat to make multiple All-Star trips (and perhaps a few Home Run Derby appearances as well)." - Major League Baseball Scouting Report.
