Physical: 5-foot-11, 188-pounds. Physical, strong frame. 4.58 home-to-1B. Offensively: RHH. Slightly crouched, athletic stance with an even base, bat rests on his back shoulder, uses a medium leg lift for timing Lightning quick hands to the ball, great use of the lower half with extension after contact. Pull side tendency, shows some pop. 90 MPH raw exit velocity. Defensively: Starts low and is low on approach, seems to have a high center of gravity, smooth hands. Medium arm swing with an over the top arm slot. INF - 79 MPH. Pitching: Works with good tempo, tall through drop step to balance point, turns closed as sits into back side on stride out before landing in line, has the "W" at foot strike getting to a repeatable release and balanced follow through. Long, whippy arm action with a high 3/4 release. FB: T78, 76-78 MPH. CB: 65-66 MPH. 11-5 shape, sharp when arm speed is maintained. CH: 63-65 MPH. slows arm a bit; did make adjustment mid bullpen.
Pride Workout (February 10, 2018)
Albright is a 5-foot-9 175-pound right-handed shortstop and pitcher who ran a 8.14 60 and a 4.99 home-to-1B. Thick frame. Offensively- Starts with feet shoulder width apart, bat wiggles a little bit pre pitch. Uses both fields, barrels balls up consistently for a 80 MPH exit velocity. More backside drive would see harder hit balls. High ceiling in the power department. Defensively- Quick first step allows him to move to the ball well. Breaks down and gets into good fielding position; delivers an accurate throw to target. Arm strength at a respectable 73 MPH. Pitching- Starts from the stretch on the first base side of the rubber. Slight side step, then brings knee to chest and keep hands near head. Throws with intent; long arm action from a high ¾ slot. FB features some arm side run at 73-74 MPH. CB checked in at 64-65 MPH; commands the zone well. Overall solid foundation.
6/6/2018:
Albright ran a 8.01-60, an improvement from February. Arm strength from the infield measured at 70-MPH. Fastball ranging 73-75-MPH, maxing out at 75-MPH with a curveball sitting at 65-MPH.
