Jake Cronenworth Stats

San Diego Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth will get some looks in the outfield in spring training over the next month. Cronenworth broke out for the Friars last year by hitting .285/.354/.477 to finish second in National League Rookie of the Year voting. He figures to share time at the keystone with Ha-Seong Kim, who was added in free agency over the winter. Cronenworth played all four infield spots in 2020, and the Padres think he's more than capable of learning a corner outfield spot. The 27-year-old had a fine first season in San Diego, but he'll have to prove himself again and will have plenty of competition from Kim, who can also play shortstop if needed. Because of playing-time concerns on San Diego's loaded roster, Cronenworth is more of a late-round flier for middle infield depth in mixed leagues.

San Diego Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The rookie has been a mainstay in the lineup this year and this will be his first day off since August 13. Greg Garcia is getting the start at second base in his place. Cronenworth is slashing .325/.378/.561 with four home runs, 19 RBI and 21 runs over 37 games this year. He also has 11 doubles on the season. Cronenworth should be owned in just about all fantasy leagues at this point. Expect to see him back in the lineup when the team closes out their series against Colorado on Wednesday.

San Diego Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth roped two doubles with an RBI and steal in four at-bats Sunday against the Oakland Athletics. The 26-year-old breakout rookie is fifth in the NL in batting, slashing .336/.389/.580 with four homers, three steals and 40 runs-plus-RBI in 131 plate appearances. With a .458 xwOBA, the NLs front runner for Rookie of the Year continues his daily contributions in a loaded offense. Eligible at multiple positions, Cronenworth should be universally owned in fantasy leagues.
