0:00For the New York Metz, it's March 17th, and here's what's going on. Francisco Alvarez is heating up this spring for the New York Metz. On Monday night, he smacked an RBI double down the left field line in the first inning to score the team's first run. He finished one for three with two walks in the loss. Through 21 spring games, the catcher boasts a 381 average, 440 on-base percentage, and 1,000. 17 OPS, he's driven in four runs, and half his hits have been for extra bases. Manager Carlos Mendoza loves Alvarez's rhythm at the plate. He says the 23-year-old is on time for fastballs, making smart takes, and feeling healthy overall. Mendoza wants to keep that momentum going. This hot streak reminds fans of Alvarez's strong finish last season. After a call-up from the minors, he hit 276 with 18 extra-base hits, 21 RBI's, and a 921 OPS in. The second half. As opening day nears, a healthy Alvarez could be a big lift for the Metz rebuilt lineup.
