WTM’s PLAYER PROFILE
Almonte is a lefty who reaches 91 now and has a potential plus slider if he gains consistency.  The slider is effective against hitters from both sides of the plate.  He needs to work on a change to move forward as a starter, but the fact that he throws with a lot of deception may work in his favor.
