Former Cubs outfielder Albert Almora struggled in this one aspect of his game.
Former Chicago Cubs first-round pick Albert Almora could do a lot of terrific things on the ball diamond. He totaled 11 outfield assists during his first four professional seasons and tallied a 1.1 WAR (according to Fangraphs) in both 2017 and 2018. He appeared to be on the cusp of breaking out given his performance and natural abilities. But last week, the Cubs non-tendered him along with fellow outfielder Kyle Schwarber and two others.
