Earlier today, we talked about how the 2023 season is a crucial one for third baseman Brett Baty’s development. The same can be said for catcher Francisco Alvarez. Like his fellow top organizational prospect, the 21-year-old is already laying the foundation for a pivotal year.
Mets Triple-A hitting coach Collin Hetzler joined Metsmerized’s Michael Mayer and Sal Manzo on the latest edition of MMO Weekly. This was a 40-minute episode that touched on a wide range of topics. One of the things that perked me up was Hetzler discussing Alvarez.
The young backstop spent 45 games in Triple-A before getting a late-season call-up to the big leagues.
