Career
Bernabel signed with the Colorado Rockies as an international free agent on July 2, 2018. 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. He returned in 2021 to play for the rookie–level Arizona Complex League Rockies and Single–A Fresno Grizzlies and played 2022 with Fresno and the High–A Spokane Indians. After the 2022 season, he was selected to play in the Arizona Fall League.
On November 15, 2022, the Rockies added Bernabel to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft. He was optioned to the Double-A Hartford Yard Goats to begin the 2023 season. In 83 games for Hartford, Bernabel hit .225/.270/.338 with 6 home runs and 28 RBI.
Bernabel was again optioned to Double–A Hartford to begin the 2024 season. However, on March 28, 2024, Bernabel was designated for assignment following the promotion of Alan Trejo. He cleared waivers and was sent outright to Hartford on March 30. Bernabel made 120 appearances for the Yard Goats during the year, slashing .263/.296/.359 with nine home runs, 64 RBI, and 12 stolen bases.
