Much of Albert’s success is derived from his ability to hit to all fields. Thanks to near perfect balance, he has amazing plate coverage, and can drive pitches to left, center and right with equal effectiveness. Albert also possesses some of the quickest hands in the game. His power is a combination of his strength below his waist and the speed with which he whips the bat through the strike zone.

Preparation is one of Albert’s assets, too. He devotes countless hours to situational hitting, while maintaining the flawless consistency of his swing. Albert approaches every at-bat with a clear idea of what a pitcher will throw him and how he will react. His discipline at the plate is evidenced by the fact that his strikeout totals continue to drop, while his walks increase.

Albert is among the most respected players in baseball. Teammates and coaches appreciate—and feed off—his commitment to winning. He also earns high marks for working as hard on his defense as his offense, winning his first Gold Glove in 2006. And though he’s slow, he has learned to be a good baserunner.

Thus far in his career, Albert has been a quiet leader who always seems to come through in the clutch. If he needs to become more vocal as he ages, there’s no reason to expect he’ll have problem with that role.
