Abrams' Power Surge: Nats Shortstop on Fire

0:00It's April 5th, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Washington Nationals News Today, your AI-powered team report. CJ Abrams is on fire for the Washington Nationals, smashing home runs in three straight games for the first time in his career. The 25-year-old shortstop win deep against the Dodgers over the weekend, capping it with a 361-foot shot on Saturday in a fear and a bus. 10-5 loss. He's the first Nats shortstop to pull that off since Ian Desmond back in July 2015. Earlier this week, Abrams lost his season's first homer, 400 feet against the Phillies, then followed with another three-run blast Friday. Night. After starting slow with just singles in his first few games, he's locked in on better pitch selection, swinging only at strikes and tapping his, pool-side power. Manager Blake Booterra loves how relaxed Abrams looks at the plate, saying it keeps his swings mood without over-swinging. Teammates are buzzing too, calling it special how he's delivering with runners on base

1:00from the middle of the order. No other Nats since the team started in 2005 has 12 RBI's in the first seven games, like Abrams does now. He's tied for the league lead. His slash line sits at 286 over 375, over 607, with a 982 OPS in 28 at bats. With this momentum building toward another all-star nod like last year, the message to Abrams is simple, stay true to your game and watch the results. Keep rolling in.
