The San Diego Padres have announced the signing of 2019 first round pick C.J. Abrams. He will be introduced later today.
Abrams is a legitimate speed threat who can develop power from the left side of the plate as he adds to his frame. He is a seriously talented player, which is why the Padres snatched him up at sixth overall. The terms are under slot value at $5.2 million. The slot value for sixth overall is $5.74 million.
Abrams was committed to Alabama. The big question going forward with him will be where he fits in defensively.
