Francisco Alvarez Maintains Stellar Spring Form

Francisco Alvarez continues to impress, reaching base twice in Monday's loss to the Nationals with an RBI double and a walk. The 23-year-old catcher is hitting .381 with a 1.107 OPS through 21 spring games, with half of his hits going for extra bases. Manager Carlos Mendoza praised Alvarez’s rhythm and health, noting that the catcher is in a great position to build on his strong second-half performance from last season as Opening Day approaches.
