CJ Abrams’ Scorching Streak: What’s Fueling His Unstoppable Surge with the Washington Nationals?
One thing Abrams does extraordinarily well is pulling outside pitches for damage. Usually hitters are told to take the ball where it is pitched. However, Abrams has always been really comfortable yanking those outside pitches to the pullside. It is not something that will work for everyone, but it is something in his bag.
However, as we mentioned at the top, it is tough to call Abrams a changed player right now. It is not like he did not get off to hot starts under Rizzo and Davey. He posted a .992 OPS in March and April in 2024 and an .865 mark in 2025. The big thing for Abrams will be keeping that up for a full season.
Luis Garcia Jr. actually said something after the game that I found interesting. He said that Abrams is at his best when he is “concentrated”. Garcia added that when Abrams is locked in, they are looking at video of pitchers together a lot. As Abrams gets older and more experienced, I think his concentration will be able to sustain better for all 162.
