Future Games Spotlight - SS Arnold Abernathy Jr.

July 18, 2022
Phil Kerber
Georgia Scouting Director

The 2022 PBR Future Games are almost a week away, and will be here in no time. With that being said, we would like to introduce you to this year's Team Georgia. We will roll out individual player spotlights with comments, video, stats, and more over the next few days.

SS Arnold Abernathy Jr. (North Cobb; Southeast Sox) had a meteoric rise up the state rankings this spring, and has only further solidified himself as one of the state's top athletes and shortstops. A 5-foot-10, 160-pound left-handed hitter, Abernathy has twitchy athleticism with quick, clean actions throughout. With a present line drive approach, he can spray the ball to all fields. When the ball is in play, watch out, as Abernathy flies around the diamond. Any chance to show off the speed he takes. It also translates to the defensive side of things where he has advanced range and a quick first step.

Scouting Report

6/26/22

5-foot-10, 160-pound left-handed hitting shortstop, lean, wiry build, an elite athlete, quick, smooth actions throughout. Wide setup at the plate with an athletic crouch, rhythm in hands as he smoothly loads back, short toe-tap stride, good balance. Whippy bat speed and quick hands, when he gets extended the ball jumps off the bat. At-times the hands don’t get extended he creates hard ground ball contact, but with his speed and athleticism Abernathy can steal an infield 1B or make any play close. Aggressive on the bases, always looking for the extra bag. Oozes athleticism.
