    Scouting Report

    From BA: 

    Alvarez is a 6-foot-4, 230-pound first baseman who has been a consistent offensive performer for Nicholls State over the last three years and capped his 2024 senior season with a .415/.517/.675 slash line including 11 home runs, 20 doubles, a 10.5% strikeout rate and 18% walk rate. He doesn’t have the typical power production you’d expect of a first baseman with his physique and instead makes a ton of contact while limiting his strikeouts and getting on base via walks and hard hit doubles. Finding a way to access more power will be key for his profile because he’s likely limited to first base and a well below-average runner but his performance, contact skills and zone management could make him a senior sign target.
