2023 Projection - Yordan Alvarez

Big, big man

Achieving greatness is not always linear.  Sometimes there are up and down seasons as a player’s career progresses.

You get some breaks one year, not the next.

My numbers project a lower batting average, slugging percentage and fewer home runs for Alvarez.

My takeaway from that is this: Those numbers don’t project a “bad” 2023 for Alvarez, but rather recognize how good Alvarez was in 2022.

A slash of .293/.381/.572 with 34 home runs and 97 RBI is nothing to be mad about. 

Next up, Michael Brantley.
