5/30/23
Uncommitted. 5-foot-11, 165-pounds. Albert has one of my favorite arms of the weekend. He is a crafty right hander that ran the fastball up to 86 and settled in at 84-85 mph. The fastball has great run/sink action hard into RHH. Then backs the fastball up with a 74-75 mph breaking ball. His curveball has great depth with nice 12/6 break. Albert has a great delivery, he really gets nice leg drive while exploding down the mound. Then gets nice extension on his release. Albert is a player that has tremendous upside in the coming years. Excited to see his progressions.
