Warming Bernabel is a welcome surprise at first base thus far

The Colorado Rockies’ minor league system isn’t short on recognizable names, especially after recent draft hauls and breakout performances across the lower levels. But one name that has slipped under the radar over the past year is Warming Bernabel, a player once viewed as a top-10 prospect in the system, now fighting to prove he still belongs in the conversation.

Signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2018, Bernabel quickly made a name for himself with a mature approach at the plate and sneaky pop. After a pedestrian start to his professional career in the Dominican Summer League, he burst onto the scene when he headed to the United States in 2021 with a phenomenal performance in the Arizona Complex League.
