By showcasing elite defense and impeccable baseball instincts, Albert Almora has rightfully solidified himself as a Chicago Cubs fan favorite on the North Side.
With increased playing time in 2018, Almora thrived both at the plate and in the field. Almora put up a healthy .286 batting average and had an impressive nine Defensive Runs Saved (DRS).
At the young age of 24, Almora is destined to be a very good major leaguer. He just might not be what the Cubs need right now.
