Abraham Núñez
Center Fielder
2024 SSS Top Prospect Ranking 37
ACL White Sox

Abraham Núñez logs a similar speedy profile as ascendant star teammate Javier Mogollón, but without any of his homer power. Seriously, a slugging percentage below .400 and worse than your on-base demands some serious time in the weight room.

But there’s time: Núñez is very, very young for an ACL participant, and did so, so many things well. Starting with the leather, Núñez played almost flawlessly at a challenging defensive position, center field. The arm will keep him in center, or even left, but his wheels should keep him on the field: a team-best 20 steals (but nine times caught, time for base-stealing drills, A.N.!) A career stolen base success rate of just 66.7% despite oodles of triples and a strong defensive range factor, is a clear indication that this young fella needs some serious basepath tutoring, so c’mon Sox, get it done.

Based on his buff debut at 17 in the DSL, it’s arguable Núñez disappointed slightly Stateside, despite being the only primary center fielder selected on our All-Star squad. But there’s still reason for optimism as he re-sets and strikes out on a full season of pro ball next year, at Kannapolis.
