CJ Abrams Develops Into Elite Power Threat With 31 Homers

Washington Nationals star CJ Abrams has evolved into a formidable power hitter, slugging 31 home runs this season despite scouting projections initially forecasting only 10 to 15 long balls. No primary shortstop in MLB has hit more home runs than Abrams, who joins Alfonso Soriano and Vladimir Guerrero as the only players in franchise history to record a 30-HR/30-SB season. At just 25 years old with two years of team control remaining, his future in Washington will be a major storyline this offseason.
