Yordan lvarez has been every bit as advertised since his major league debut with the Houston Astros in 2019. The Cuban-born outfielder and designated hitter is an intimidating presence in the batter's box he's listed at 6-foot-5 and 225 pounds, but it would be reasonable to take the over on both of those figures. lvarez did nothing but hit as a minor leaguer, despite being younger than his competition at every level.
I love the props for him, but they could at least spell his last name correctly.

LOL. Yeah, outside of the article spelling his name wrong, you're right. He isn't 225lbs, either.

They did, the tilde/accent over the A doesn't get copied when pasting to TexAgs for some reason.

I think JV is listed at 220lb which is probably close to accurate. If you've seen JV and Yordan stand next to each other they're close to same height but 30lb difference at least

This feels like the 10th guy in a row we have faced with an ERA below 2.5 and a WHIP below 1.0.

You'll never convince me that MLB isn't 100% selectively f***ing with the balls.

(…then Bregman does what Bregman does and just grounds out)
