6/17/24
Uncommitted. In his final game on Monday Abernathy went 4 for 4 at the plate with a backside triple and two singles that left the bat at 90+ exit velocity. Big frame at 6’2 175 with a ton of power to all parts of the field. Very strong lower half and does a great job getting the barrel through the zone. He can also move around the bases very well. 6.88 runner. Absolute gamer.
