Many have been calling for Justin Crawford's name to have already been instated on the Philadelphia Phillies' major league roster. However, the club, which relies so heavily on its veteran outfield depth at the big league level, doesn't feel the need to rush its No. 3 prospect this year. After rising through the Phillies' minor league system since joining the club in 2022, Crawford began this season with the Triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPigs, where he has reminded everyone of his success in the farm system.
The 21-year-old outfielder continues to hit exceptionally well, so the team has decided to hone in on his defensive abilities in center field.
