Jake Cronenworth News
San Diego Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth helped lead the Padres to the National League Championship Series when he went 2-for-4 with two RBI in the 5-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers to win the Division Series 3-1. The 28-year-old's hitting .241 with a lowly .586 OPS across seven postseason games thus far but does have five RBI and a home run. Cronenworth had an unspectacular though acceptable 2022 season in which he hit .240 with 17 HRs, 88 runs, 88 RBI, and three stolen bases over 158 games. He'll try to heat up and keep the run production going in the next series when the Padres take on the Philadelphia Phillies.
San Diego Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth cleared the bases with a grand slam in the first inning of Wednesday's 10-3 defeat of the Miami Marlins. He added a single and a walk later in the contest, making him 2-for-4 on the day. Cronenworth is having a competent season with the bat, slashing .239/.343/.387 with 12 HRs, but has an excellent 72 runs and 63 RBI over 117 games. However, after new additions at the trade deadline, he's been bumped down in the lineup so run production may be harder to come by. With limited batting average and power, it's hard to justify starting him if the counting stats aren't there.
San Diego Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against Colorado Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland. Cronenworth has been on a recent tear at the plate and is now slashing .244/.348/.402 with 11 home runs, 55 RBI, 68 runs scored and one stolen base in 393 at-bats after homering in the 9-1 win over the Rockies on Wednesday night. New acquisition Brandon Drury, who clubbed a grand slam in the first pitch he saw in a Padres uniform on Wednesday, is starting at second base and is batting fifth against Freeland. Drury is having a career year with a .275 average and 21 home runs in 93 games in 2022, and he's been great against southpaws, going 30-for-97 (.309) with nine of his 21 home runs against them.

Jake Cronenworth enjoyed a fantastic rookie campaign with San Diego in 2020, hitting .285/.354/.477 with four homers and three steals over 192 PAs. His plate discipline was excellent, with a 9.4 BB% against a 15.6 K% backed by both his MiLB resume and outstanding peripherals (22.4% chase rate, 5.8 SwStr%). His .324 BABIP also looks sustainable thanks to an above-average 25.2 LD% and below-average 29.4 FB%. In fact, Cronenworth's .324 xBA suggests that he offers significant batting average upside! Sadly, that strong average comes at the expense of power potential. Cronenworth doesn't hit that many flies, and his 91.5 mph average airborne exit velocity was below-average. He should still get a handful of homers thanks to his solid 10.5% rate of Brls/BBE, and Baseball Savant thought he deserved a higher slugging percentage as well at .541. The Padres hit Cronenworth everywhere in 2020, and his fantasy stock would improve if he looks like he'll lock down a significant lineup spot in Spring Training. Overall, the 26-year-old has a similar profile to Placido Polanco: a consistent producer who savvy fantasy managers would take in the later rounds to offset batting average risk elsewhere in their lineups. Cronenworth is eligible at three different positions (1B, 2B, SS) and affordably-priced at an ADP of 150.68, making him a great addition regardless.
