2018–2024: Minor leagues

[edit]

Bernabel signed with the Colorado Rockies as an international free agent on July 2, 2018, receiving a $900,000 bonus.[1] He made his professional debut in 2019 with the Dominican Summer League Rockies.

Bernabel did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] He returned in 2021 to play for the rookie-level Arizona Complex League (ACL) Rockies and Single-A Fresno Grizzlies. He was the ACL Player of the Month Award in July.[3] He played in 2022 with Fresno and the High-A Spokane Indians.[4] After the season, he played in the Arizona Fall League.[5] On November 15, the Rockies added Bernabel to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[6]

After suffering two gunshot wounds in the offseason, Bernabel played the 2023 season with the Double-A Hartford Yard Goats. In 83 games, Bernabel hit .225/.270/.338 with 6 home runs and 28 RBI.[7]

Bernabel was again optioned to Double-A Hartford to begin the 2024 season.[8] On March 28, he was designated for assignment following the promotion of Alan Trejo.[9] Bernabel cleared waivers and was sent outright to Hartford on March 30.[10] Bernabel made 120 appearances for the Yard Goats in 2024, slashing .263/.296/.359 with nine home runs, 64 RBI, and 12 stolen bases.

2025: MLB debut

[edit]

Bernabel began the 2025 season with the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes, where he batted .301/.356/.450 with eight home runs, 45 RBI, and five stolen bases across 75 games.

On July 26, Bernabel was selected to the Rockies 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[11] He was named National League Player of the Week for the week of July 28–August 3, shortly after his debut with the Rockies.[12] After batting .500 with three home runs in his first seven major league games, he ended the season slashing .252/.288/.410 with four home runs and 14 RBI in 40 games, mostly playing first base.[13] He missed two weeks in September after suffering a concussion.[14] On December 6, the Rockies removed him from the 40-man roster and sent him outright to Albuquerque, but Bernabel elected free agency rather than accepting the assignment.[15][16]

Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos

[edit]

On December 19, 2025, Bernabel signed a minor league contract with the Washington Nationals.[17] Bernabel was released by the Nationals prior to the start of the regular season on March 21, 2026.[18]

On May 27, 2026, Bernabel signed with the Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos of the Mexican League.[19] He only made two plate appearances for Dos Laredos, going 0-for-2, before he was released by the team on June 1.[20]

Sioux City Explorers

[edit]

On June 11, 2026, Bernabel signed with the Sioux City Explorers of the American Association of Professional Baseball.[21]

Personal life

[edit]

Bernabel's first name Warming is a portmanteau of his father's name, Warren, and his grandfather's name, Ming.[22]

On December 3, 2023, Bernabel and his wife were the victims of a robbery attempt in the Dominican Republic, an incident in which he suffered multiple gunshots to the back.[23][24]
