Pedro Alvarez Biography

Pedro Alvarez is an MLB third baseman, currently playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Alvarez was a record setting player in high school, but turned down an offer from the Boston Red Sox to play in college for the Vanderbilt Commodores. A dominant force for the Commodores, Alvarez won the Freshman Player of the Year, along with slugging 39 homeruns in just two seasons with the team. In the 2008 MLB Draft, the Pittsburgh Pirates selected Alvarez with the second overall pick, making his MLB debut on June 16, 2010. Alvarez would produce in limited at bats, hitting multiple homeruns and picking up RBIs in many at bats. After spending most of 2011 between the DL and the minor leagues, Alvarez returned to the Pirates in 2012, again dominating opposing pitching, and emerging into one of the top homerun hitters in baseball. His breakout year was in 2013, as he was named to his first All-Star team, along with leading the National League in homeruns, earning him Silver Slugger honors. The future is bright for Alvarez, as he and Andrew McCutchen look to lead the Pirates back to the World Series in the near future.
