Justin Crawford Fantasy Stats

The Philadelphia Phillies aren't convinced that outfield prospect Justin Crawford can play an average big-league center field, and many rival evaluators agree that he is better in left field, according to Matt Gelb of The Athletic. There is more long-term upside from Crawford, but he could rate below Brandon Marsh in center field right now. Crawford's offensive skill set is tailored for center field, so Gelb suggests the Phillies "might have to close their eyes and let it happen." If the 21-year-old can handle center, it would allow the team to use Marsh in the strong side of a platoon in either left or right field. Crawford is listed as the Phils' No. 3 prospect at MLB Pipeline, and he's in line to make his major-league debut in 2026 after slashing a strong .334/.411/.452 with seven home runs and 46 stolen bases at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Crawford could be a part-time corner outfielder at first, but there's time for him to develop better defensive skills to fit center.

Philadelphia Phillies outfield prospect Justin Crawford (concussion) was placed on Triple-A Lehigh Valley's 7-day injured list with a concussion, retroactive to September 5, after colliding with third baseman Otto Kemp. The Phils' third-ranked prospect was having an excellent season for the Iron Pigs, slashing .334/.411/.452 with a .392 wOBA, 133 wRC+, and 46 stolen bases in 112 games. If he returns when first eligible, he could play an additional handful of games at Triple-A before the season is out, and could also join the Phillies for their stretch run. If he does not debut this year, it's a good bet he'll be in the majors in 2026, and he'll bring excellent bat-to-ball skills and a ton of speed with him, which will make him very intriguing for fantasy.

Philadelphia Phillies outfield prospect Justin Crawford went 3-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in an 11-9 loss against Triple-A Omaha. Crawford homered for the second consecutive game and has continued a really productive season. He's hitting .331/.408/.448 with six homers and 42 stolen bases. The speedy outfielder has been remarkably consistent throughout the year, hitting at least .290 in every month. Crawford has displayed a career-best walk rate that has allowed him to rack up so many steals. While he should make enough contact and the speed is obvious, the lack of a true power ceiling lowers the upside for fantasy a bit.

Philadelphia Phillies outfield prospect Justin Crawford went 2-for-4 on Sunday for Triple-A Lehigh Valley, including a solo home run and two runs scored. The Phils' third-ranked prospect has hit well all season, batting .328 on the year, but has been even hotter lately, slashing .358/.411/.537 with four doubles, a triple, and two home runs over his last 17 games. The speedy former first-rounder also has eight steals during that time, giving him 42 steals in 105 games in 2025. There doesn't appear to be much more for the 21-year-old to prove at Triple-A, so an opportunity just needs to present itself with the big league club. It should happen within the next month, so fantasy managers should be ready to pounce, and we should see his skills on full display regularly next year.

Philadelphia Phillies outfield prospect Justin Crawford went 2-for-4 on Wednesday for Triple-A Lehigh Valley, including a double, three RBI, one run scored, and a stolen base. The Phillies' third-ranked prospect is now the owner of an eight-game hit streak, and has hit safely in 17 of his last 20 games, going 25-for-70 (.357) over that stretch with a .944 OPS. The former first-round draft pick is slashing .331/.414/.438 on the year with 37 steals and a 53:79 BB:K in 96 games for the Iron Pigs. With as hot as he's been all year, it is somewhat surprising we haven't seen a call-up for the 21-year-old, but his speed could be a difference-maker down the stretch and in the playoffs, so a September debut is still very much in the cards.

Philadelphia Phillies outfield prospect Justin Crawford has continued to find success and is making a strong case to join the Phillies for the stretch run. Over his last 11 games with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, the No. 3-ranked prospect in the system on MLB.com has posted a strong .333/.429/.361 line with an 11:6 K:BB and four stolen bases. While he is not known for being a power hitter, Crawford has shown strong contact skills with high-upside speed. Through 91 total games at Triple-A this season, the former 17th overall pick from the 2022 MLB Draft has posted a .327/.411/.423 line with 19 doubles and 31 stolen bases. He has only gone deep three times. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues looking to boost their stolen base total down the stretch should consider stashing Crawford, as he should be in the mix to debut in the majors before the end of the month.

Philadelphia Phillies outfield prospect Justin Crawford went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI during their contest against Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday evening. This was Crawford's third long ball of the regular season. This was also his second-straight game tallying multiple hits. Throughout his first 78 games with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, the No. 48-ranked prospect in the sport has been nothing short of impressive, holding a .331/.414/.438 slash line with 18 doubles, three triples, and 31 stolen bases. He has held a solid 63:44 K:BB and has scored 57 runs. Last summer, Crawford spent most of his time with Double-A, where he posted a similar .331/.380/.455 line. Seeing Crawford continue to show his elite contact skills and speed at the top level of the minor leagues is an excellent sign for his long-term outlook. Given his production, he should be viewed as a top stash candidate going forward.

Philadelphia Phillies outfield prospect 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.

Philadelphia Phillies outfield prospect Justin Crawford went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, and one run scored on Wednesday for Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The Phils' third-ranked prospect is 10-for-21 (.476) over his last five games, including four doubles and a home run, although surprisingly without even a single stolen base. The 21-year-old is sporting a .341/.415/.451 slash line with 26 steals, a .395 wOBA, and a 135 wRC+ through 65 games for the Iron Pigs. The former first-rounder is striking out at just a 17.8 percent clip while drawing walks at an above-average rate of 11.6 percent. As hot as he's been all season, it is somewhat surprising that he hasn't seen a promotion, but so long as he is not dealt before the trade deadline, look for the team to give him a shot in the majors in the second half, bringing with him solid contact skills and speed, which could make for a viable fantasy asset.

Philadelphia Phillies outfield prospect Justin Crawford went 3-for-4 with a home run, double, and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 7-1 over Triple-A Buffalo. Crawford hit the ball hard in three of his five plate appearances on the night and slugged his first homer since May 15. The 21-year-old has maintained good plate skills this season to go with his 70-grade speed, which has helped total 26 stolen bases so far, good for fifth most in Triple-A. There's a chance Crawford is a late season call up, and he'd be viewed as a deep league and NL-only type of pickup.
