Alvarez > Vlad.

 

Alvarez is 2 years older... and right now has a much better swing. Hit's the ball harder more often and in the air more often.

 

Vlad can hit the ball just as hard when he connects but I guess Vlad needs to make some subtle adjustments to reach Alvarez (2019) level. The hitting coach's need to help Vlad increase his launch angle a bit... Can he make the adjustment?? Or will Vlad forever be stuck at his age 20 hitting style and be hitting fearsome grounders and not be elite for his entire life...

 

Is Alvarez always going to be a .320 .400 .680 hitter his entire life?? Never slumping??

 

These questions will be answered in the coming years... note things may be always as they are this exact moment, or perhaps they will change with Alvarez regressing and Vlad getting better.

 

Vlad was better every other year that wasn't 2019.

Pitchers will adjust and will throw less balls down the middle to Alvarez
