| Broad shoulders, tapered waist, plenty of room for projection, looks taller than listed height; true-three-quarters arm slot, plus arm speed, short arm circle in the back, hides the ball well; drop and drive delivery, drives hard with the lower half; athletic player, mechanics can get unbalanced and stiff at times to hurt command |

11-5 shape, sharp bite and depth; has natural feel for spin, stays on top of the offering and uses it effectively against lefties and righties alike; present average command, will miss bats at the highest level with consistency |

Abreu has a big arsenal with a wipeout curve and a change that also projects to plus. His inconsistent mechanics will keep him from becoming a true front-line starter, and the deficiency introduces a fair amount of risk to the profile. But it's a relatively straight path to his projection as a mid-rotation anchor who can pitch above that on days he reigns in his fastball command.
