Abreu

Abreu stands in at 5-foot-11, 165-pounds with a lean athletic frame. Ran a 7.19 – 60, just slightly faster than his previous mark set at 7.35 in October 2017. Offensively- Righty sets up square to the pitcher in a wide stance. Smooth prior to the pitch with an efficient trigger allowing his hands to get into a good position. Shows quick hands with a level barrel path hitting the ball up the middle and to the opposite field. Swing path is slightly long, but a more direct path to the ball will clean that up. Recorded an exit velocity of 79 MPH, shy of his previous best mark of 85 MPH set in October 2017. Defensively- Approach could be more direct through the baseball on the crow hop. This would allow more of the body to get behind the throw. Moves well and with minor adjustment would be smooth through the transition from the glove to the throw. Recorded a positional arm velocity of 79 MPH, a 2 MPH improvement from October 2017. Pitching- Righty sets up on the left side of the rubber with simple fluid mechanics. Gets good separation before the drive down the mound. Could use more of the lower half to get more into the throw. Utilizes a high ¾ arm swing with a good follow through into a fielding position. Fastball was 76-78 MPH and peaked at 79 MPH. Curveball was 67-68 MPH with 12/6 action. Change up was 68-69 MPH with arm side sink.
