03/24/2019 - Interactive Video Program - Greensboro, NC It was great to see Abbey again! As a catcher Abbey has a good low set up and presents her hands well. Her glove side range is agile and she frames with a solid glove. She is a vocal catcher and does well on blocks to protect her throwing hand. With more kick back of her feet to replace with her knees on blocks she will absorb them even better. She uses a short arm action to throw and by generating more momentum to her target she will increase her strength and accuracy to second base. At shortstop, Abbey has active footwork and a good glove. Her glove side range is strong. She uses a clean exchange and short arm action to throw. Her throws to first base are on-line and accurate. With more momentum to her target and backside follow through after her release she will increase her strength. Offensively, Abbey has fluid rhythm in the box. Her stride is short, soft and on-time and she uses a firm front side at contact. By increasing the momentum with her hips and hands to contact she will improve on her power and consistency. Overall, Abbey has a great happy attitude and is very coachable. As she continues to work hard she can be a valuable player.
