Nationals players CJ Abrams and James Wood hit season milestones
Summary

Washington Nationals players CJ Abrams and James Wood have become the second pair of teammates 25 years old or younger to record at least 30 home runs and 20 stolen bases in a single season. The duo joins Jose Ramirez and Francisco Lindor, who achieved the same feat while playing for Cleveland in 2018. Wood reached his 21st stolen base of the season during a matchup against the Los Angeles Angels, bringing his individual totals to 30 home runs and 21 steals. Abrams enters the late-season stretch with 30 home runs and 28 stolen bases. As of September 12, the Nationals lead the Angels 4-0 in a game currently in progress. While the team remains outside of postseason contention, the offensive performance from this young pair continues to serve as a primary indicator of growth for the franchise heading into the offseason.
