Justin Crawford Providing Plenty of Speed in First Half
Justin Crawford has been one of the most prolific contact and speed threats in Triple-A this season, swiping 29 bags in 38 attempts. He's hitting .331/.407/432 with a 127 wRC+ as a 21-year-old as he has flown through the Philadelphia pipeline. Crawford has made seamless transitions to each level he's been at. Since his time at Low-A as a 19-year-old, he's posted a 120 wRC+ or better at every stop while being one of the younger players. His 70-grade speed has led to a high number of steals while also maintaining a strong strikeout rate to maximize his legs. There's also some power to be tapped into with the speedy outfielder, as he has shown a solid 41.6 percent hard-hit rate and 110.6 MPH MaxEV at Triple-A this year. Those are meaningful numbers and signal some power potential, which raises the ceiling for him as a fantasy asset.
