Michael Harris looked very ready for the season on Saturday, as he homered and doubled. Spencer Strider looked good as well, with his usual strikeout-heavy results through two innings, featuring his new breaking ball that he says he will take into the season. One player I want to focus on is Nacho Alvarez, who singled and doubled in three plate appearances.
Alvarez has been playing shortstop in the minors and has the look of a guy who can hit some. He has also made it onto a smattering of top 100 prospect lists and honorable mention lists this offseason. If he can stay at shortstop playing good defense and show enough with his bat as he moves up in the organization, he would be playing at one of the few positions not locked down by a core player with a big long contract at the major league level.
