Henderson Alvarez Signs With Indy Ball Club

By Jeff Todd | July 21, 2020 at 8:14am CDT

Former MLB right-hander Henderson Alvarez is hoping that an independent league stint will get his career back on track. He is joining the Milwaukee Milkmen of the American Association.

Alvarez says he is finally healthy and in good form. While MLB outfits obviously weren’t convinced, the 30-year-old says he intends to re-prove himself on the field.

In 2014, Alvarez spun 187 innings of 2.65 ERA ball. But he was derailed by injury in the ensuing season and has only made three MLB appearances over the past four campaigns.

Alvarez got a look at Triple-A last year with the Nationals, but couldn’t turn the corner. He pitched to a 5.94 ERA in 53 frames, recording 6.3 K/9 against 3.1 BB/9 while surrendering 15 long balls in the supercharged offensive environment.

    Coming up with Toronto the guy had crazy movement on his fastball but just lacked that kick in velocity to overpower anyone although looked really good in stints.

      Greg Maddux never overpowered anyone in his 355 wins.

        Maddux actually averaged better than 93 mph for a decent part of his career. That’s still a fair amount of gas.

        I am a Braves fan. I’m a huge Maddux fan. But, for the love of God, don’t use wins as a measuring stick

          On the whole, I agree with @Sheep8 and @krillin89. However, Maddux played 10 seasons for the Cubs, mostly during the lovable losers phase. Only 2 of those teams were above .500, while he had 6 seasons personally over .500. Some wins can still be impressive.

        He was also given a strike zone you could land a 747 on.

        He won it from the on deck circle and not by retiring the final batter lmao.

    I was really hoping he would sign with the St. Paul Milkmaids

    This guy has one of the greatest oddball occurrences of all time. In 2 consecutive seasons, he was involved as a starting pitcher in a no hitter on the last day of the season. One was his on the winning side and the other was as the losing pitcher opposite Max Scherzer’s 2nd no hitter of the year.

    Just another one of those facts that prove that there is almost nothing in baseball that can happen that has never happened before. Baseball abnormalities are almost like geological time.

      Thats incorrect..scherzers second no hitter of the yr was against the Mets in the 2nd game of a doubleheader..but it was the 2nd to last game of the year, mets won season finale 1-0 on the next day…it was Zimmermann with the season ending no hitter ( the one with matt szcur/szczur ? Making the flying catch for the last out

        Steven Souza actually made the flying catch for the last out.

    I really hope he makes it back. I don’t see why a team like the Orioles won’t take a chance with him. He was a great #2 starter behind Jose Fernandez down in Miami.

    Hopefully he earns a spot back onto a MLB roster like Dan Bard
