Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies is off to a heck of a 2018 season

The Atlanta Braves are not only having a great season in the win-loss category, they’re actually extremely entertaining to watch — and it all begins with the guy leading off…21-year-old Ozzie Albies!

The 5’8″, 165-pounder from Willemstad, Curacao has been answering and hearing questions about his size for an awful long time now and he’s here to silence the talkers. He’s showing that size does not matter when you’ve got the talent. And he definitely has the talent.

On Thursday night, Albies went 2-6 at the plate which currently puts him at a .285 batting average for the 2018 season.
