Jake Cronenworth Joins Slam Diego Party
4 years agoSan Diego Padres infielder Jake Cronenworth went 3-for-4 with two singles and a grand slam Saturday against the Houston Astros. The Friars pelted the Astros with six homers in the 13-2 blowout, including Cronenworth’s first career grand slam in the second inning. He also scored three runs on the night. The 26-year-old has been a revelation in San Diego, playing three positions, posting awesome batted-ball outcomes and leading NL rookies in hits (25), runs (13), RBI (11) and extra-base knocks (13) including three homers. Slashing .352/.418/.648 in 79 plate appearances, Cronenworth has forced his bat into the nightly lineup. As his dynasty stock soars, he merits fantasy consideration in deeper redraft leagues.
