The blast was his fourth home run in five career games and brought his OPS through his first career 21 plate appearances to a ridiculous 1.771 mark.
This is nothing new for the 21-year-old slugger, as he crushed 23 homers in 56 games at Triple-A in order to earn his promotion to Houston.
The ball left the bat at a scorching 109.6 mph and landed 435 feet from home plate according to Statcast, showcasing the power that Alvarez possesses at the plate.
