Francisco Alvarez hit a single at 108.6 mph Friday against Max Fried, a celebratory moment amid an adjustment period for the Mets’ top prospect.
Francisco Alvarez hit a shot that left the bat at 108.6 mph Friday night for a single against Max Fried, a celebratory moment in what has largely been an adjustment period for the Mets’ top prospect.
“He hit an absolute bullet,” Mets hitting coach Jeremy Barnes said. “For a 21-year-old kid that is fantastic.” “They are pitching him very differently than he got pitched in Triple-A. He’s learning. He is 21 years old and I think so much of it is that he’s such a special talent and the narrative is he’s going to come up and be our 4-hole hitter and hit 40 [homers] this year, but that doesn’t always happen, and the season is still young.”
