Higgy Almond  
First Baseman | Free Agents

Hitting
Almond never has been a patient hitter. Almond always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. Even though you might not start him, he's not a bad guy to have on your bench for the tough left-handed reliever.

Baserunning & Defense
When you play Almond you're not putting him in for his glove. His arm is accurate enough. Almond has below-average speed and is a poor baserunner.

2025 Outlook
What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Almond to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks.
