Justin Crawford Continues To Show Well At Triple-A
Philadelphia Phillies outfield prospect Justin Crawford went 2-for-5 at the plate for Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday, raising his batting average to .293 on the young season. Crawford also stole his eighth bag of the year. The Phillies' third-ranked prospect is off to a fine start at Triple-A after cruising through High-A and Double-A last year to the tune of a .313/.360/.444 slash line with nine home runs and 42 stolen bases. With an 18.0 percent strikeout rate, the 21-year-old doesn't appear to be overmatched, so despite a 2026 ETA according to MLB.com, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the youngster in the big leagues by the end of the campaign. He may not be a contributor in terms of power when he arrives, but the stolen base acumen will be an asset to fantasy managers who need a boost in that category.
