With his ludicrously undervalued contract, Ozzie Albies has been an invaluable addition to the Atlanta Braves. With baseball finally underway, how will he fare in an unprecedented 60-game season?
Tomahawk Take's own Daniel Rasmussen put it best in his breakout player report: "In a sprint instead of a marathon, [Ozzie] is one of Atlanta's best sprinters."
And for good reason. With his excellent early-season numbers in the past, second baseman Ozhaino Albies could be in for a monster sprint.

2019 Statistics through June, July, and August:
