Mason Albright Fantasy Stats

Colorado Rockies starting pitching prospect Mason Albright responded well in his most recent outing after having a rough stretch. In this start, the southpaw logged seven shutout frames while striking out three and allowing only three hits. However, before this outing, the 21-year-old carried a hefty 8.86 ERA and a 2.06 WHIP in his previous five starts. Overall, Albright's first look at Double-A has not gone smoothly as he carries a 4.87 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, and a 36:68 BB:K ratio across 94 frames of work. However, the IMG Academy product posted a 2.88 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP last summer at High-A. Albright currently sits outside of the top 30 prospects in the Rockies system on MLB.com, but if he can string together a solid finish to the summer, he may find his way onto this list next season.

Los Angeles Angels pitching prospect Mason Albright has developed into a solid arm within the organization despite being a 12th-round pick. That's good news, after all, considering Los Angeles' approach over the last few years has been to draft and develop as many young hurlers as possible. Albright's fastball lacks game-changing velocity, but it's still an effective offering. FanGraphs' Eric Longenhagen describes his heater as "diverse" because "Albright can create sink and tail from his low slot, but can also run his heater up the ladder because his slot creates such a shallow approach angle." The southpaw's best secondary offering is an effective curveball, though he's also working on developing a changeup. Albright was electric this past week, striking out 11 batters over 6.2 innings of work. His final line included zero runs, two hits, one walk, and the victory. This was a much-needed bounce-back outing from the 20-year-old after he allowed seven runs and failed to escape the first inning in his previous start.
