Albert Almora

Wt.: 180. Drafted: HS—Hialeah, Fla., 2012 (1st round). Signed by: John
Koronka/Laz Llanos.
Background: USA Baseball turned to Almora frequently during his amateur career.
He tied A.J. Hinch’s record by playing on six national teams. The sixth
overall pick in the 2012 draft signed for a $3.9 million bonus. His first full
season was delayed until late May by a broken hamate in his left hand and ended
in early August due to a groin pull.
Scouting Report: Almora has good tools and maximizes them with tremendous
baseball instincts. His best tool is his bat, which scouts project as
above-average or better. He has a loose swing, present strength and good
hand-eye coordination. He uses the whole field, using what one club official
calls a “no-ego approach” at the plate. Almora employs a leg kick and has to
be on time but has good natural hitting rhythm. He projects to have average or
better home run power. Almora is just an average runner, if not a tick below,
but he has premium range in center field thanks to his impeccable breaks on the
ball, first-step reactions and passion for playing defense. He has a plus,
accurate arm as well.
The Future: Almora has taken system-mate Jorge Soler under his wing, and they
played together in the Arizona Fall League to make up for time lost to
injuries. A healthy Almora should move quickly and settle in as a talented glue
guy in a lineup.
