CJ Abrams has gone from prized prospect to an emerging star shortstop for the Washington Nationals as both team and player have made startling gains.
When Gunnar Henderson was on the court, no backboard was safe. Before the Orioles' 22-year-old phenom was manning shortstop at Camden Yards, before he was the consensus No. 1 prospect in baseball, before he heard his name called as the 42nd overall pick in the 2019 MLB draft, Henderson was a three-sport athlete at John T. Morgan Academy in Selma, Alabama. “I'm a full believer in playing as many sports as you can,” Henderson said in the Orioles' clubhouse shortly before he was named the American League Player of the Month for April.
