When Francisco Alvarez plays, the New York Mets win.
The young catcher is back in the fold after recovering from a thumb injury that held him out for seven weeks and it has directly coincided with his team’s return to success.In his last 18 appearances, the Mets are 17-1.
But since the 22-year-old’s return from the injured list on June 11, the Mets are 6-1 even with his offensive numbers lacking. Alvarez is batting .142 before breaking out with a 3-for-5, two RBI night in New York’s dominating 14-2 victory over the Rangers on Monday. On the season, though, he’s batting .243 with a notable absence of power .
In his first 23 games last season, he was batting .217 with a .652 OPS, three home runs, and six RBI. He followed that up by hitting nine home runs with 19 RBI to go with a 1.074 OPS in his next 20 games, indicating that a boon is coming. Perhaps Monday night was the start of it.It is his prowess behind the plate, which was considered the massive inhibitor just two years ago keeping him from being an everyday MLB player.
