LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2024 WWBA Workout Showcase (July 5)
Drew Abney is a 2026 C/3B with a 6-0 205 lb. frame from Marietta, GA who attends Pope. Large, sturdy frame with current muscularity and time to refine overall athleticism and physicality. Ran the 60 yard dash in 7.27 seconds. Primary position catcher, with a traditional initial setup replacing feet to offset pre-throwing position setting the tone for clean directional footwork. Quick hands securing the ball and working through a lower transfer around the letters. Longer takeaway and loading the arm at the ear as he gains ground to throw. One-hop accuracy on the bag with his feeds reaching 74 mph and showing a pop-time best 1.97 seconds. LHH working from a spread stance, high handset and high back elbow with a toe-tap trigger to get things moving. Short path to impact and gets on plane naturally as he elevates with power. Real juice in his hands, loud contact on the barrel leaving the yard several time throughout his BP round. Simple lower-half, stays through the ball and projects legit power especially to the pull side. Strength really plays and looks like a middle of the order backstop longterm. Outstanding student as well.
