Curveball has average 12/6 shape and gradual depth at 62-65 mph. Throws a legit knuckleball for strikes that dances up to the plate and drops off the table at 62-64 mph.

A switch-hitter, Alvarez starts from an open stance on the left side. Rolls inward with rhythm to load as he triggers his hands and lands closed.
