J.P. Crawford Hits Leadoff Homer In Win
J.P. Crawford went 1-for-5 with a home run in his team's 2-1 win over the Texas Rangers on Saturday. Crawford's lone hit at the dish came in the top of the first inning to lead off the game, a 100.3 MPH blast he pulled to the corner of right field, but that wasn't the only hard-hit ball he'd register. The former first-round pick collected two more batted balls in excess of 97.8 MPH, though they ended in a lineout and groundout. He's been great from the leadoff spot for the Mariners, batting .287 (29-for-101) with a .410 OBP, three home runs, and 17 RBI to match his run total. The lefty has raised his walk rate to a robust 16.8% after sitting at 11.5% in 2024 and holds the highest xBA of his nine-year career (.271).
