Alvarez went 3-for-4 with a homer, a walk, four RBI and two runs against High-A Wilmington on Wednesday.

While Alvarez is still hitting a fairly modest .243 with Brooklyn -- a far cry from his .417 mark with Low-A St. Lucie before being promoted -- he's put up a spectacular .341/.388/.756 line over his last 12 games. All in all, Alvarez has slammed 13 homers across 57 contests in High-A, and despite taking a golden sombrero on Sunday, he's been doing a great job cutting down on his swing-and-miss issues of late. There aren't a lot of truly special prospect bats that project to stick at catcher, but Alvarez is one of them -- arguably the best.
