Jake Cronenworth Proves Legitimacy In 2021
3 years agoSan Diego Padres infielder Jake Cronenworth entrenched himself as an everyday big leaguer after a successful sophomore campaign. The 27-year-old tallied a .266/.340/.460 slash with 21 homers, four steals and 165 runs-plus-RBI over 643 plate appearances, earning an All-Star bid while playing both first and second base. Under team control through 2026, Cronenworth should remain a vital piece in a Friars squad that enters 2022 with high expectations. With his excellent plate discipline, Cronenworth's .276 xBA and 14 percent strikeout rate support a sustainable ability to provide usable fantasy production as a potential top-20 middle infielder going forward.
