Luis Alvarado is a 2014 OF/RHP/SS with a 6-5 185 lb. frame from Salinas, PR who attends Montverde Academy. Large frame, long and lean build, long limbs, not much present strength, very projectable athlete. 6.79 runner, very good outfield arm strength, solid actions in the outfield, clean and fast to the ball, good footwork. Third base only in the infield, very good arm strength, actions are very long. Switch hitter, natural hitter from the right side, line drive swing plane, has some positive length and the beginnings of some bat speed, handles the barrel well, mid field contact. Still developing left handed hitting mechanics, leans and rotates, barrel drags. Has a higher ceiling as a pitching prospect, fastball to 88 mph, have seen up to 90 mph in the past, ball leaves hand clean and easy, long loose arm action, smooth and loose out front, low effort, flashes hard curveball spin but inconsistent on release point, should improve quickly with more mound repetitions. Good student.

Luis Alvarado is a 2014 RHP/OF with a 6-4 175 lb. frame from Salinas, PR who attends St Patrick's HS. Long and loose athletic build, extremely projectable. Came to Showcase as primary OF'er, but superior pitching prospect. Side step delivery, long loose flowing arm action, extended 3/4's release, delivery not fluid but arm very fluid. Fastball to 90 mph, mostly straight but throws to both sides of the plate, flashes hard curveball spin when arm speed consistent, developing change up. Potential to be a mid 90's thrower with time and strength. 6.82 runner, shows his athleticism in the outfield, moves well and fields the ball cleanly, very strong arm, also plays infield and shows similar arm strength. Switch hitter, long extended swing both sides, lacks strength to create present bat speed, spread with more bat speed left handed, levers might be too long to hit. Good student.
