    Who's got insight on Mason Albright and what his potential looks like? I assume if the Angels are going to make him a solid offer then they have high hopes for this kid...

    Anyone know??

    Albright transferred from the Midwest to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. for his senior season, joining players like outfielder James Wood and lefthander Drew Gray as high-profile transfers to the Florida powerhouse. At his best, Albright dominates opposing hitters with his fastball from the left side, though there are many pitchers in the class who throw harder than the 93-94 mph he frequently tops out at. Scouts frequently call Albright’s heater an “invisiball” and he routinely racks up whiff after whiff with the pitch, even against some of the better hitters in the class. The pure spin rates aren’t outrageous (1900-2200 rpm), but something about Albright’s fastball routinely sneaks over the bats of hitters. Albright also throws a curveball and a changeup, though scouts have described his secondaries as fringe-average pitches. Albright has an extended, one-piece arm action that gets lengthy and inverted in the back, which isn’t always conducive to ripping off hard breaking balls, and he’s been slurvy in the mid 70s with decent shape. While Albright has shown fairly advanced command despite that long arm action, there are some scouts who think he’ll need to shorten it up to get to a more consistent curveball—but that change could also impact the life on his fastball. Albright is listed at just 6 feet, 190 pounds, so there’s not a ton of physical projection left and because of that some teams might want to see him perform at Virginia Tech, unless he’s signable on Day Two.

    Early mock: 2022's Top 20 Draft prospects

    13. Angels: Brandon Barriera, LHP, American Heritage Plantation HS (Fla.)
    Hailing from the same high school as Eric Hosmer and Zack Collins, Barriera is a 6-foot-1 lefty with excellent stuff (a fastball that runs up to the mid-90s to go along with a good feel for his changeup and spinning a breaking ball) and excellent command. He’s committed to Vanderbilt.

    Is there some sort of rule preventing the Angels from recalling Quijada? surely he deserves a chance more than Hoyt, no?

    "Upon being optioned to the Minor Leagues, a position player must remain there for a minimum of 10 days before he is eligible to be recalled to the Major League roster. For pitchers, the minimum is 15 days."
