Francisco Alvarez’s progression has occurred in small steps early this season, and now signs point to him having arrived as the Mets’ everyday catcher.
CINCINNATI — Francisco Alvarez’s progression has occurred in small steps since his recall from Triple-A Syracuse early this season, and now the signs point to him having arrived as the Mets’ everyday catcher.
Alvarez’s two homers were among the four hit by the Mets in what became their sixth loss in seven games.Robert Sabo for NY Post “It’s really about having confidence in myself,” Alvarez said through an interpreter. “I will always continue to have confidence in myself whether I am playing or not playing. My job is to come out here and prepare myself every single day and give 100 percent every time I am here.”The Mets certainly appreciate the added offensive jolt, at a time veterans Starling Marte and Mark Canha, in particular, have struggled to get on track.
But Showalter will still be careful not to push Alvarez too far. For instance, the Mets play during the day Thursday after a night game, and the plan is to start Michael Perez behind the plate.
