CJ Abrams 2026 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Talented Shortstop Looks To Make A Power And Speed Leap in 2026
After two seasons in 2024 and 2025 that look like carbon copies of each other, CJ Abrams hopes to take a step up into super-stardom in his age 25 season in 2026. Apart from his number of runs scored, Abrams was a model of consistency the last two seasons in the power and speed department. In both years, he stole exactly 31 bases and slugged exactly .433. Still, in 2025, he showed plate discipline improvement by decreasing his strikeout rate to under 20%, and he lowered his chase rate for the fourth year in a row. With a consistent 40% hard-hit rate, there is upside for Abrams to crack 25 home runs at some point in the near future, and with a spot in the top two of the Washington lineup secured, he should be given the green light to steal more than 30 bases again. More than a year removed from the decisions that got him sent down to the minor leagues at the end of 2024, Abrams now enters his prime hitting years. He has been healthy and consistent, racking up more than 600 plate appearances each of the last three seasons. An ADP around pick 50 in fantasy baseball draft locks in a floor of around 20 home runs and 30 steals, and also comes with the potential for much more.
