Why no start for Jay Abernathy?
Jay Abernathy, a top 75 overall prospect according to Perfect Game, didn’t record a start in his first series as a Tennessee Volunteer. The true freshman is expected to be a big part of this lineup sooner rather than later, but Tony Vitello opted to give him a ‘cheater’s start.’
Vitello explained after the weekend sweep. Abernathy ended up recording two hits in three at bats, scoring two runs on Saturday against Hofstra.
