4 years agoSan Diego Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth knocked three singles, scored a run and walked in five plate appearances Saturday against the Texas Rangers. The 27-year-old is up to 12 hits on the season, slashing .364/.462/.485 with three extra-base hits and six runs-plus-RBI in 40 plate appearances. A late-round selection in fantasy drafts this offseason, Cronenworth has become a staple in lineups of all sizes. Despite modest batted-ball outcomes, Cronenworth's elite plate discipline supports a steady average while he should reliably continue accumulating counting stats. Last year's Rookie of the Year candidate is proving his run was no fluke.--Andrew Le - RotoBaller
