→ DLowe:Alvarez 瞎了一隻眼 ? 推218.167.181.159 04/26
Age:21 B-T:L-L Ht.:6-3 Wt.:485
Drafted:Long Beach State, 2003(2nd round)
Signed by:Jim Woodward.
Background:
Alvarez pitched just three innings as a Long Beach State freshman in 2001,
then he was named Big West Conference pitcher og the year in each of the
next two seasons. Eased into pro ball with tight pitch counts, he didn't
allowed an earned run in 19 innings at short-season Lowell.
Strength:
The Red Sox put a premium on pitchability, and Alvarez is loaded with it.
He has the best command and changeup in the system. Boston officials say
his 85-88 mph fastball is arguably the best as well because he effortlessly
pains the back with it. Alvarez also has a big league average curveball
and an uncanny knack for varying speed, looks and location. He has a gift
for quickly discerning a hitter's weakness and exploiting it to get outs,
and shuts down the running game with his pickoff move.
Weakness:
Alvarez's below-average velocity will draw its share of skeptics. A
childhood accident left him legally blind in one eye, but it doesn't hamper
him on the mound.
The future:
Alvarez will began this year in high Class A and should reach Boston quickly
he's a lefty who knows how to pitch. He has a ceiling as a No. 3 starter.
