Jose Alvarez has quietly performed as one of the Phillies best and most reliable relievers over the past two seasons.  His 67 appearances last season fell one short of the team lead as Hector Neris appeared in 68 games.

Despite pitching in parts of eight big league seasons so far, Alvarez's baseball card appearances are sparse which is the fate of most non-closing relievers.  He appeared in the 2013 and 2015 Topps Update sets and received his first, and only to date, mainstream Phillies card in last year's Topps Total set.  He also appeared in both the first and second team-issued photo card sets last season.
