Mets' Francisco Alvarez Blasts Massive Homer with Triple-A Syracuse, Building Case for MLB Return

New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez launched his ninth home run with Triple-A Syracuse on Friday night, a commanding 427-foot blast to left field with an exit velocity of 111.8 mph and a 23-degree launch angle, giving Syracuse an early 2-0 lead. This impressive "no-doubter" continues his hot streak, as he hit four homers in three games before the All-Star break and is now batting .258 with a 1.050 OPS. Alvarez is making a strong case for a return to the major league roster after a challenging start to his season.
