6-foot-1, 186-pound frame with a strong lower half. Square athletic stance, small lift and replaces, and hands load and separate in rhythm. Alvis does a nice job involving the lower half early and finishes it through contact. In the seventh inning he got a 87 mph fastball up in the zone and got on plane barreling it up to left field for a RBI double. Have always liked the offense that Alvis can provide from the left side. Another strong uncommitted bat in the 2022 class.
