Braves prospect Ozzie Albies played in 138 games in the Braves’ Double-A Mississippi and Triple-A Gwinnett clubs last season.

The infielder is among the 20 non-roster invitees expected at Braves camp later this month.

Albies, who turned 20 in January, is listed as the Braves’ No. 2 prospect. The switch hitter batted .292 with 161 hits, 6 homers and 53 RBI. He also stole 30 bases.

Albies' season ended after fracturing his right elbow in a Double-A playoff game. He has been rehabbing since undergoing surgery in September.

A few days away from pitchers and catchers reporting to Lake Buena Vista, Fla., here is a glimpse of Albies' swing:
