Going into last night’s series opener in Arlington, TX, CJ Abrams had reached base safely in 15 straight games, with a .317/.414/.700 line, five doubles, three triples, four home runs, and eight walks in 70 plate appearances over course of the on-base streak, and hits in 14 of the 15 (reaching via HBP on an 0 for 3 night in his only hitless game in that stretch).
Abrams homered (7) and walked twice in the series finale in Miami on Monday night, and his manager, Davey Martinez, talked about how important those walks were to the shortstop for his continued development.
