Albies was an international signee in the summer of 2013 out of Curacao, a place the Braves know well and scout very well. He exploded onto the scene in 2014, spending time with both the GCL Braves and Danville Braves. He performed tremendously with both, totaling a .364/.446/.444 line with 22 steals and a 28/23 BB/K ratio between the two levels while flashing big time defensive potential at shortstop. He was still off the radar of many prospect lists outside of Kiley McDaniel, who rated him as the Braves #1 prospect on his organizational list, which caught a lot of people by surprise.
