Bernabel entered 2023 with a 40-man roster spot and some hype after a strong 2022 season that saw him hit well across two levels of A-ball (129 wRC+ in Low-A, 118 in High-A). Unfortunately, though, his season ended after suffering a concussion in an accidental collision. The 6’2” 21-year-old righty-hitting third baseman, known for his elite hand-eye coordination and aggressive approach, was signed by the Rockies for $900k in July 2018 after being listed as Baseball America’s 33rd-best prospect of the international signing class. For 2023, he was assigned to Double-A Hartford, where he was 2.7 years younger than league average.
