Last night, J.P. Crawford had two singles in his first three at-bats, and would have had three in three if not for Daniel Schneeman visiting the Acme Co pregame for a pair of rocket booster cleats. That is not, in and of itself, unusual. With 50+ singles already this season, Crawford is in the top 25 in baseball in singles, up among contact merchants like José Altuve and Alejandro Kirk. What is unusual is two of those three singles went into left field, which is unusual for J.P.’s overall profile as a lefty hitter but not unusual this year, when he’s running a 36% oppo rate, the highest of any full season of his career.
J.P. Crawford is the best version of himself
