Cubs Prospect Albert Almora Named to MLB Pipeline’s 2016 All-Defense Team

Albert Almora is coming off an inconsistent season at the plate. In the field, Almora is considered ready for the big leagues and his defense was recognized by MLB Pipeline.

MLB Pipeline polled General Managers, scouting directors and executives to find out which players are the top defensive prospects in the game. Jonathan Mayo said they received “21 responses that brought 14 names.” MLB Pipeline did more research, added in the feedback and put together a 2016 All-Defense Prospect Team.

Albert Almora was named to the 2016 All-Defense Team as he prepares for an extremely important Spring Training for the former first round draft pick.
