Mason Albright
LHP 6-0 190 Catoctin HS (MD)
PG -
Mason Albright is a 2021 LHP/1B, OF with a 6-0 190 lb. frame from Thurmont, MD who attends Catoctin. Strong athletic build. Long arm action in back that shows the ball to the hitter, high leg lift, extended 3/4's arm slot creates some angle to the plate, occasional pause at the top to vary his tempo and hitters timing, stays on line well with his lower half. Fastball topped out at 94 mph, mostly straight with occasional arm side running life. Big breaking frisbee slider from the same slot as his fastball, has feel for the pitch and throws it for strikes. Developing change up. Knows how to sequence his pitches with maturity and created some uncomfortable at-bats, has the tools already to dominate left handed hitters. Raw stuff has taken a nice jump over the past year

Mason Albright, LHP, FTB/SF Giants Scout Team 2021
Albright was very good, as expected, in his WWBA outing; striking out 4 over 3 innings and showing his usual mix of pitches and feel. His fastball reached 93 mph with excellent angle, especially glove-side, and his curveball/changeup combination still flash above-average. The pitchability stands out and Albright is in line for a heavily-scouted spring at IMG, where he’ll have a chance to continue rising up draft boards.
Mason Albright – LHP: Not the biggest pitcher out there, but he wins with stuff, Command (55), and a fantastic feel for pitching. With a Fastball that plays up, getting a natural sinking action from his low release, and consistently works low in the zone. But does show an ability to elevate and get above the eye level of hitters. Extremely tough on LHH with that low arm slot, and pairs it with great extension. Flashes a Plus (60) Curveball that absolutely kills lefties, and shows an ability to backdoor it vs RHH. A Changeup that shows flashes of 55 Grades, but is a League Average offering at present to round out the 3 pitch mix. A consistent performer that doesn’t back down from any hitter filling up the zone.
Mason Albright - Southpaw that has serious helium after a stellar summer circuit. He dazzled at the Perfect Game National Showcase in June and continued it in the Area Code Games, showcasing a three pitch mix that is deadly. But his performance in Oklahoma City may have been his best of the summer. In a very quick and efficient inning, he only faced three hitters, inducing a shallow flyout and two strikeouts of Carter Jensen and Drew Gray. The fastball already showcases plus potential, with late armside life in the 88-91 MPH range. His curveball and change-up aren’t far behind, as the curveball has big downward movement in the 76-77 MPH range and located it very well, with the change-up in the same speed range with good fade and sink. He recently enrolled at IMG Academy and has become the second best prep lefty in the class, in my mind.
