Then and Now

We first saw Albert at the Rising Stars Preseason-All State in March and then once again in May at the Lakepoint Rising Stars ID, which landed him a spot at the Junior Future Games in July. He closed out the year with ATL Lightning at Lakepoint where he only continued to look the part. The metrics were up across the board. He took his 60 time from 7.56 to 7.48. At the plate, he increased his max exit velocity going from 84.1 to 95.6. The average exit velocity was up over 8 mph with the max distance up nearly over 50ft. The actions behind the dish really took a uptick as well going from 2.28-2.40 to 1.96-2.06 from March to July.  On the mound, Albert has sat in the upper 70s (T80 MPH) and should live low 80s this Spring with plenty more to project and shows a loopier curveball with feel to land out of the same tunnel in the upper 60's. Look for Albert to continue to grow into his frame with strong potential on both sides of the ball and has a chance to continue to climb in the rankings.
