Francisco Alvarez reaches historic multi-homer mark for New York Mets catchers

New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez recorded his seventh career multi-homer game during Friday's contest against the San Francisco Giants. This performance places him alongside Hall of Famers Johnny Bench and Gary Carter on the list of catchers with the most multi-homer games before turning 25. Alvarez, who turned 24 during the 2026 season, has hit 15 home runs in the current campaign. With 21 games remaining in the schedule, the catcher needs one more multi-homer performance to tie Bench for the record for the most such games by a player at his position before age 25. Having debuted in 2022, Alvarez has recorded 63 total home runs over his career. His future with the organization remains a subject of team evaluation as the Mets finalize their roster plans for subsequent seasons.
