Albies #2 On Ba Prospect Hotsheet - 4/29

anyone have exit velocity on him? I think what makes me believe more and more is that ppl are saying he's hitting the ball hard. Not a HR guy, but legit gap power. Not only slapping it around and taking advantage of minor league fielders and parks.

Best arms are in AA, so is there any reason to promote him? AAA guys will have more polish, but this is not a hacker with a hole in his swing that polish can exploit. It's a small strike zone with a great eye and hit tool. Probably best for him to look at elite stuff over better polish, no?

I know exist velocity can be deceiving to the eye but when I've seen him play in Pearl it looks like the ball really jumps off his bat. I missed the game Monday where he hit the home run but a friend of mine at the game said he squared it up and the ball left the field quickly. He is definitely not a bloop single an take advantage of a bad defense hitter.
