Pete Alborano was a minor league outfielder who played from 1986 to 1992 in the Kansas City Royals and Philadelphia Phillies systems. He spent significant time at AA but never advanced beyond that level.

He was drafted by the Royals in the 29th round of the 1986 amateur draft, was signed by scout Jim Moran and he began his professional career that very year. He spent 1986 with the GCL Royals, hitting .277/.386/.350 in 45 games.

His average dropped 67 points in 1990, as he hit only .255/.334/.317 in 81 games for the Chicks. He hit .257/.327/.306 in 51 games for Memphis in 1991. Alborano wound up in the Phillies organization for the 1992 season. He hit .232/.276/.273 in 52 games for the Reading Phillies.
