"Statcast is not a fan of Nacho Alvarez. That's a lot of blue, and that's a lot of blue that is aaallllll the way to the left of those charts. When I'm looking at acquiring players in fantasy, I typically run away screaming from guys like this. Over 145 plate appearances heading into last night's game, Alvarez was hitting .250/.329/.328 (88 wRC+)."
"You can see the emptiness in that line as his SLG is higher than the OBP, and he has *checks notes* 0 home runs in that span. He also has *checks notes* 0 stolen bases in that span. But I do have him on one of my fantasy leagues, and I'll have a decision to make this offseason in terms of needing to move him to my 40-man roster or just letting him go."
"His name is fun to say. And he drops bombs. Hitting .234/.304/.534 (127 wRC+), Suarez has 42 home runs on the season, and he sits at over 30 WAR for his career. It's not Hall of Fame-worthy - he's never really been one of the best players in the game - but he's got seven (SEVEN) four-win (give or take a few tenths) seasons in his career."
Nacho Alvarez produced a low-output line over 145 plate appearances, hitting .250/.329/.328 (88 wRC+) with no home runs and no stolen bases. Statcast metrics show weak results, yet Alvarez demonstrates low strikeout rates, solid contact, and good plate awareness, and remains only 22 years old entering the next season. Eugenio Suarez combines strong power and consistent production, hitting .234/.304/.534 (127 wRC+) with 42 home runs and over 30 career WAR. Suarez has delivered seven seasons around four wins, offers competent defense and evident enthusiasm, and represents sustained, high-impact offense.
