Physical 5-foot-10, 200-pound frame. Abney works with normal effort in the delivery. Shorter arm swing and throws from a three-quarter arm slot. Hips and shoulders aree level and lands slightly closed. The fastball velo was a little down from what we have seen, but it was a pretty cold night so I wouldn't be surprised to see the 82-84 mph pitch in the 84-86 mph range as we move into the spring season. The fastball, when working to the glove side, had some slight cut as he worked around it, but also showed occasional run when he stayed behind it and worked it to the arm side. Abney had a solid feel for the slider, throwing it consistently for strikes at 72-75 mph. The slider had the makings of a solid out pitch.
