Considering how big a step Alfaro took in his first season in Miami and how hard it is to find a quality starting catcher, his ownership rates seem surprisingly low. Yes, he whiffs a ton (his 50.4 per cent swing rate on pitches outside the strike zone last year is the third highest in the game over the last five years), but he plays a ton of games and flashed emerging power last year. Alfaro has worked hard during the break with some Marlin hurlers and is ready to take the next step with his game offensively — especially if he can improve his strike zone judgment and start to make use of his speed.
