By age 16, he was signed by the Atlanta Braves as an international free agent.

Albies played his first professional game for the Gulf Coast Braves in 2014. Later that season, he was signed by the more advanced, Danville Braves, from the rookie-level affiliate. He played in 57 games and had an impressive showing. He received praise from sports commentators, was ranked as one of the top 100 prospects in baseball, and was considered the fifth-best player available to the Braves through their farm system.

During the 2015 season, Albies played for the Rome Braves. He played well and was selected for the All-Star Futures Game. He was the only one from his team selected. Halfway through the season, he injured his thumb and was forced to miss the remainder of the year. He played in 98 games that season had a very good showing and was considered the third-best available player for the Braves and 30th overall in the minors.

The Mississippi Braves, an AA team, invited him to spring practice in 2016 and he started the season with them. He again exhibited outstanding play and was called to play for the AAA team, the Gwinnett Braves. In June, he returned to Mississippi and helped to lead the Braves to the Southern League playoffs.
