The Rockies are calling up infielder Warming Bernabel ahead of their game in Baltimore, utilizing an open spot on the 40-man roster following the trade of Ryan McMahon. Bernabel, who previously hit .236/.282/.367 in the minors, is enjoying a strong start to the season with a .301/.356/.450 average at Triple-A Albuquerque. However, this performance falls short when adjusted for the Pacific Coast League. He has good bat-to-ball skills but tends to expand the strike zone, limiting hard contact. Bernabel could step into a regular role at third base.
Warming Bernabel is being called up by the Rockies before tomorrow's game in Baltimore, filling a roster spot opened by Ryan McMahon's trade.
Despite a solid .301 batting average in Triple-A, Bernabel's numbers are below average when accounting for the Pacific Coast League environment.
Bernabel has plus bat-to-ball skills but often expands the strike zone, limiting his hard contact to an average of 84 MPH in the minors.
Colorado feels there’s little risk in calling up Bernabel, who was once a promising prospect, to potentially fill the void left by McMahon.
