Re-Drafting Yordan Alvarez and the 2016 MLB Draft Including International Prospects | News, Scores,

The University of Florida standout hit .374/.469/.659 with 14 home runs and 60 RBI in 58 games during his junior year with the Gators, yet he slipped to the second round of the 2016 draft because of the risk often associated with right-handed-hitting first-base-only prospects.

He reached Double-A in his first full professional season, hit Triple-A the following year and made his MLB debut in 2019 with a record-setting 53-homer, 120-RBI campaign.

Adding that production to a 2019 Colorado Rockies team for which Nolan Arenado (131 OPS+, 41 HR, 118 RBI), Trevor Story (120 OPS+, 35 HR, 85 RBI) and Charlie Blackmon (125 OPS+, 32 HR, 86 RBI) were all hitting at a high level would have created an offensive juggernaut.
