CJ Abrams has been making headlines with his recent performances. He has been on base seven times in two games against his former team, the Padres, and has stolen two bases, with two other swipes nixed by umpire interference. Abrams has been playing his way back into the All-Star Game mix with impressive stats, including a .419 batting average, .486 on-base percentage, and .694 slugging percentage over 15 games. In June, he has a .394 average and 1.109 OPS, with multiple multi-hit games. Among NL shortstops, he ranks 4th in home runs, 2nd in RBIs, 3rd in stolen bases, 4th in batting average, and 2nd in OPS. Additionally, Abrams hit a leadoff homer and an RBI double in a recent game, contributing to a 3-1 lead for the Nationals. Despite being picked off eight times this season, the most in the majors, and being hit by a pitch on his left wrist (the one with the cyst), Abrams continues to show his potential as a franchise shortstop. He is on pace for a 25 HR season.
