Ozzie Albies is a huge part of the current Atlanta Braves core. He evolved a bit in 2021, but the end result was pretty similar, and he remained a huge chunk of the team’s success.
Acquisition
The Braves signed Albies out of Curaçao on July 2, 2013, offering him $350,000 to add him to the organization. He had a quick ascent up the minor league ladder, as he dominated every rung aside from a mid-season move to Triple-A in 2016. The Braves called him up in late 2017, and he’s manned the keystone since.
