Pedro Álvarez was born on February 6, 1987, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Though born in the Dominican Republic, he later immigrated to the United States and holds American nationality. He is the son of Pedro and Luz Álvarez and has one sibling, a sister. Álvarez developed an interest in baseball at a very young age, which would eventually shape his personal and professional life.
Álvarez attended Mott Hall School for his early education before enrolling at the prestigious Horace Mann School in New York City. It was here that he began to make a name for himself in baseball, joining the school’s team and delivering standout performances. His athletic prowess earned him the title of Athlete of the Year during his senior year.
Despite receiving offers to join professional teams directly after high school, Álvarez chose to pursue a college education. He enrolled at Vanderbilt University, where he continued to excel in baseball. His time with the Vanderbilt Commodores further elevated his profile as a powerful hitter and reliable third baseman, earning him widespread recognition and numerous accolades.
After a successful college career, Pedro Álvarez was selected by the Pittsburgh Pirates as the second overall pick in the 2008 MLB Draft. He signed with the team and made his MLB debut in 2010. Over the years with the Pirates, Álvarez became known for his strength, particularly in power hitting, and served as a key player in the team's lineup. His physical presence—standing tall and weighing approximately 250 pounds—combined with a powerful throwing arm, made him a formidable third baseman and later, a designated hitter.
Throughout his time with the Pirates, Álvarez earned several distinctions, including becoming the National League home run leader in 2013. He was also honored with an All-Star selection and the Silver Slugger Award for his offensive contributions.
Following his tenure with the Pirates, which ended in 2015, Álvarez signed with the Baltimore Orioles in 2016. With the Orioles, he served primarily as a designated hitter and continued to contribute with his offensive capabilities. Though his time with the Orioles was shorter and marked with transitions, he remained a notable figure due to his hitting power and experience.
Pedro Álvarez married his long-time partner, Kelli, in 2011. The couple shares one child and has maintained a strong relationship since their marriage. Álvarez is known to be private about his personal affairs but has occasionally shared glimpses of his family life through social media.
