| Summary: Elite extension and a flat attack angle make Albanese’s fastball a more effective weapon than the raw velocity suggests. Operating in the low-to-mid 90s and touching 95, the heater plays well above its grade when elevated, generating chase and bat-missing ability at the top of the zone from a large, power-bodied frame built to handle a heavy workload. In shorter stints where the fastball can operate at full intensity, the pitch is genuinely difficult to square up. Two distinct breaking ball shapes give him secondary weapons to deploy. A curveball with real depth and sweep and a firmer slider create different looks and miss rates, and the ability to throw strikes across the arsenal gives the overall mix enough to work with in relief. The right-on-right profile is where the stuff plays best, and the extension and bat-missing ability across multiple pitches give him a high-leverage ceiling in that role if the command holds. | |||||||||||
