Ozhaino Jurdy Jiandro "Ozzie" Albies (born January 7, 1997) is a Curaçaoan professional baseball second baseman for the Atlanta Braves of Major League Baseball (MLB).

Career

Albies started playing baseball at the age of six, and began switch hitting in 2013.[1] Ozzie Albies travels at the speed of light around the bases. Discovered by the Curaçao-based scout Bargello Lodowica,[2] Albies was signed by the Atlanta Braves for $350,000 as an international free agent on July 2, 2013.[3][4] Influencing his decision to sign was the Braves' connection to Andruw Jones and Andrelton Simmons, both, like Albies, natives of Curaçao.[5] He made his professional debut in 2014 with the Gulf Coast Braves and joined the Danville Braves in July.[6] In 57 games, Albies hit .364/.446/.444 with a home run.[7] After the season, he was ranked among the top 100 prospects in baseball by Keith Law,[8][9] and fifth-best in Braves farm system by Baseball America.[10] Albies started 2015 with the Rome Braves.[11] In July, he was named to the All Star Futures Game.[12][13] He was the only Braves prospect to appear in the game that year, as well as the youngest player on the field.[14][15] Albies went 1-2 in the game, which the World Team lost to the U.S. 10-1.[16] He fractured his right thumb during the first week of August and missed the remainder of the season.[17] In 98 games, Albies hit .310/.368/.404 and stole 29 bases.[18] MLB.com placed him third on the list of top Braves prospects at the end of 2015, and 30th overall throughout the minors.[19]

Albies was invited to spring training in 2016, and opened the season with the Double A Mississippi Braves.[20] After 22 appearances with Mississippi, he hit .369/.442/.512 and was promoted to the Triple A Gwinnett Braves on April 30.[21] In two months with Gwinnett, Albies hit .248/.307/.351. On June 30, he returned to Mississippi, playing second base alongside shortstop Dansby Swanson.[22][23] Upon Swanson's promotion to the major leagues, Albies remained in Mississippi, having hit for a .292 batting average and a .778 OPS between the Double A and Triple A levels. Mississippi made the Southern League playoffs, but Albies injured his right elbow in the first postseason game and sat out the remainder of the season.[24]

Albies was again invited to spring training at the start of the 2017 season.[25] He was called up later that year on August 1, and made his major league debut against the Los Angeles Dodgers.[26] On August 3, 2017, Albies hit his first career home run.[27]
