If there is anyone who can relate with what Francisco Alvarez is doing, it is the last Mets catcher to generate as much excitement.
“I think from what I’ve seen [of Alvarez, he is] a very exciting hitter and hope he continues his hot pace,” Piazza said in a text message Tuesday afternoon. “He is coming up with clutch HRs, and that is a great sign.”
Piazza, a 62nd-round pick in 1988, arrived with the Dodgers with less fanfare but quickly established himself. “The big test,” said Piazza, who is in Venice, Italy, to see his brother get married, “will be when he goes around the league a few times and pitchers start adjusting.”The average MLB catcher entered play Tuesday with a .690 OPS, the worst among any position group.
