Scout’s note
Signed out of Las Tunas, Cuba, Alvarez owns a career .973 OPS — and 2026 may be his best season yet: .315 with 31 homers by mid-July. The strange part: our engine says he is still underperforming his contact. When a hitter this established shows up on a breakout board, the league hasn't seen the ceiling.
The Wire
▲ On the field: Fans and analysts call Alvarez one of the hottest hitters after recent multi-homer stretches and strong exit velocities leading to his 31st home run.
