Because the Mets’ bats proceed to wrestle in Queens, Francisco Alvarez retains exhibiting off his prodigious energy.
The Mets’ high prospect launched a “moonshot” dwelling run off the left-center area scoreboard within the backside of the second inning for Triple-A Syracuse at NBT Financial institution Stadium on Tuesday night time.
Alvarez, 20, hit a 1-0 pitch from Buffalo Bison right-hander Adrian Hernandez to cap a five-run inning to tie the rating at 5-5. Syracuse ended up dropping the sport, 15-8.
Whereas the homer was his seventh since being promoted to Triple-A, Alvarez has struggled on the plate general there. Alvarez, who went 2-for-5 within the loss, is hitting only a paltry .183 for Syracuse with 22 RBIs and only a .725 OPS.
The Mets’ catchers even have struggled on the plate this season with James McCann hitting .205 with a .555 OPS and Tomas Nido checking in at .235 and .577, respectively.
Nonetheless whereas Alvarez’s energy, which produced a homer out of a stadium already this season, is tantalizing is occasions, his time with the massive membership doubtless should wait.
