2019 RHP Farmer Abendroth

LSU commit doin work in Jupiter, Florida

Per Prep Baseball Report:
The Sox improved to 3-0 after two victories Saturday. In its 6-1 win over Team Mizuno Puerto Rico, the Sox rolled out four arms that were 89-plus, highlighted by one of the day’s bigger revelations, 2019 RHP Farmer Abendroth (Warren Central HS, MS). Although he’s committed to LSU, the lanky 6-foot-5, 170-pound right-hander isn’t a well-known name around the national scouting community.

Abendroth likely changed that with his two-inning relief stint. Extremely long and rail-thin, Abendroth worked his fastball at 90-93 mph, sitting mostly at 90-91, with angle and occasional arm-side life. While he set hitters up with his lively fastball, he put them away with a hard 12/6 curveball that ranged between 78-80 mph. Abendroth recorded four of his six outs via strikeout, all of which came off his breaking ball.

Although he’s far from a polished product, his arm is quick and athletic coming out of a high-¾ slot. There’s some effort there, but he’s under control as he threw 69 percent strikes and didn’t issue a walk while surrendering one hit. Above all, he looks as though he’s only begun to scratch the surface of his immense potential as he continues to physically develop.
