Atlanta Braves prospect Nacho Alvarez Jr. wasn't a well-known name until he made his MLB debut last season. He was called up when Ozzie Albies fractured his wrist last July. Unfortunately, he didn't have a good time and was soon replaced by Whit Merrifield.
Alvarez finished the 2024 season at Triple-A Gwinnett and impressed with a .297 average over 64 games. 2025 started off with an injury for Atlanta's third-best prospect, and he didn't start playing in games until June.
Alvarez got another shot at the majors when Austin Riley injured his abdominal muscles. His bat wasn't anything special, but he flashed the leather with some nice defense at the hot corner over eight games.
