Kevin Alvarez

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Houston Astros #10 prospect in 2025
  BA Grade/Risk: 50/Extreme
  
  Track Record: The star of the 2025 international signing class for the Astros. Alvarez is a Cuban outfielder who signed for $2 million with plenty of buzz. There’s still a lot of space for Alvarez to add good weight to his tall, lean frame (6-foot-4, 185 pounds) to enhance an already promising foundation of hitting ability.
  
  Scouting Report: Alvarez is a lefty with long limbs that he’s able to sync up well at the plate to keep his swing direct and efficient, making contact at a high clip and spreading the ball around the field. Alvarez has grown a couple inches into his current height since many clubs were scouting him, and while it’s still a hit-over-power game right now, there’s significant projection for Alvarez to grow into bigger home run sock once he packs on more muscle. Alvarez has an above-average arm and good defensive instincts in center field, but he’s an average runner, so with his size, he probably will ultimately make his way to a corner.
  
  The Future: Alvarez will be one of the bigger names to debut in 2025 from the recent IFA period, he has potential to hit his way into the Astros Top 10 Prospects by year end.
