The Major League Baseball season has progressed past the All-Star Week, indicating that we have reached the latter portion of the season. Let’s check in on how the Virginia Cavaliers baseball alumni are doing.
Andrew Abbott: UVA 2018-21, Current: Cincinatti Reds
The former Cavaliers ace took his minor league dominance on the mound immediately into the Big Leagues, allowing zero runs in his first three starts. Since then, Abbott has been more human but has posted an overall 4-2 record with a 2.45 ERA and a 1.01 WHIP in 47.2 innings. According to Baseball Savant, his curveball spin rate and changeup whiff rate rank above the 90th percentile of the league.
