Battery Power’s Minor League Defensive Player of the Year is Ignacio Alvarez

Today we will take on the third of our series in Atlanta Braves minor league awards, this time taking a look at the best defender in the system. Projecting defensive ability is one of the more difficult things to do in regards to minor league players as without the wealth of information available at the major league level we’re left evaluating individuals by eye over the course of the season. Earlier this week we ran through out player of the year and pitcher of the year awards.

Your Winner: Ignacio Alvarez Jr.

Alvarez came into the system with a reputation for his defense, being known at Riverside Community College in California as a phenomenal third baseman.
