Jorge Alfaro has always been the diamond in the rough, go big or go home prospect. He would either flop in the high minors due to a lack of plate discipline and overall approach, or he’d terrorize pitching in said upper minors and continue to do so after reaching the majors.
2017 proved to be a roller coaster ride for Alfaro with him eventually coming out on top.
Jorge started the season in major league camp with long shot odds at making the Opening Day roster due to the presence of Cameron Rupp and Andrew Knapp.
