12/27/2009 - Christmas Camp and Tournament #2 Abey participated in Pirate City as both a SS and OF, and showed similar skills as he did 11/09. He is an athletic, rangy player with good instincts and play skills. Abey has good hands and feet at both positions and a quick exchange from glove to hand. He works well to get behind the baseball and delivers the ball accurately to the target. Abey has a good 1st step, but will need to add arm strength to improve at both positions. If Abey can work to field the baseball in a lower, more athletic fielding position, defensive grades could rise. At the plate, Abey is a well balanced hitter with good bat speed. His swing is short to long and he shows good barrel contact. Abey will need to incorporate his lower 1/2 into his swing and get his front foot down sooner for offensive numbers to further improve.
