Francisco Alvarez, Endy Rodriguez’s success is win for Mets’ player development
The starting catchers for the Mets and Pirates were a pair of highly touted prospects who soared into the majors.
Alvarez hit Rookie League first, pounded every level of the minor leagues and has been the best Mets discovery this season, a budding star catcher at just 21 years old. An international signing of the Mets in July 2018 out of the Dominican Republic, the catcher performed at low levels in ’18 and ’19 before he was sent to the Pirates for Joey Lucchesi in January 2021.
The lefty has spent most of his season with Triple-A Syracuse and pitched to a 4.43 ERA in five games with the Mets. Starling Marte is feeling “a lot better,” he said, and is hoping to return this season. Marte needed offseason surgery to repair separated groin tendons, and he has not looked the same this year.
