Scouting Report

Assets
  • Though he's not flashy, Abernathy knows what has to be done to win games. He's a good contact hitter who isn't afraid to sacrifice himself for the team with a bunt or a sac fly when needed. He has good speed that's boosted by his great hustle and instincts around the bases.
Flaws
  • Needs to learn some patience. There's no doubt that he can run but he doesn't always pick the right spot in steal situations and ultimately gets caught too much.
Career Potential
  • Minor-league depth infielder.
