| School: Tennessee | Position(s): MIF/OF | ||||||||||
| Height: 5’10” | Weight: 170 lbs. | Bats: Left | Throws: Right | ||||||||
| Summary: With the ability to play either spot up the middle in the dirt, or man centerfield, Abernathy’s athleticism is always on display on the diamond. He has double plus speed to go with a potential plus arm, there is a ton to like when he is in the field. The hit tool is real as he gets to the zone quickly and uses the whole field, showing a great ability to inside-out the ball and shoot it the other way. Pure power will never be part of his game, but he will drive the ball if a pitcher makes a mistake over the middle of the plate. The profile is exactly what you are looking for as a leadoff guy who can play an elite defensive position. | |||||||||||
