4 years agoSan Diego Padres infield prospect CJ Abrams has lived up to expectations so far at Double-A San Antonio, rocking a 162 wRC+ through 64 plate appearances. The Friars No. 2 prospect (No. 8 overall) has mashed two homers and stolen three bases with a .933 OPS. Abrams annihilated Rookie ball two years ago with a 1.104 OPS, earning a surprise promotion to High-A to end the season. The 2019 first-round pick brims with potential with an 60 scouting grade including a spectacular 80-grade speed. While his native shortstop position is indefinitely occupied by Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr., Abrams has played several infield and outfield positions to test his versatility. If he earns a call to Triple-A this season, the 20-year-old's big league arrival could be less than 12 months away. Stay tuned.--Andrew Le - RotoBaller
