The Mets are calling up top prospect Francisco Álvarez ahead of this weekend’s pivotal three-game series against the Atlanta Braves, according to multiple reports.
The news was first reported by Daniel Alvarez-Montes of El Extrabase.
Álvarez, 20, is the No. 1-ranked prospect in all of baseball, according to FanGraphs. A right-handed hitting catcher, Álvarez signed with the Mets as an international free agent out of Venezuela in 2018.
