2024 Fantasy Outlook
Crawford enjoyed a wonderful breakout season offensively after years of fantasy managers waiting for the production to catch up with the potential with him. Crawford parlayed his excellent OBP skills into scoring 94 runs thanks to a career high walk rate which helped him get on base 38% of the time. Crawford's batting average splits were nil but 16 of his 19 homers came against righties and he was a monster in the second half trying to personally will Seattle into returning to the postseason with 11 homers, 47 runs, and a .282/.401/.492 line during that time. Crawford opened the season hitting 9th but quickly moved to the leadoff and remained there most of the season. That role should continue for him as he has the best OBP chops on the roster. Crawford is one of 23 players with at least 600 plate appearances in each of the past three seasons and just one of five shortstops to do so. He was a bargain in 2023 drafts, but his price has risen significantly this draft season. Read Past Outlooks
Joining team in New York
Crawford (oblique) is set to join the Mariners ahead of their three-game series with the Yankees beginning Monday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Crawford appears to be ready to rejoin the major-league roster after being placed on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 1 right oblique strain April 25. The shortstop went 1-for-5 with a run scored during his short two-game rehab assignment, which was cut short after he was hit in the hand by a pitch Wednesday. Crawford has struggled to a .198/.296/.302 slash line with two homers, nine RBI and 13 runs scored over 86 at-bats in 22 games with Seattle this season. His return will likely push Dylan Moore out of the starting lineup.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Supplying high floor
Crawford is slashing .318/.448/.482 with an 18:17 BB:K ratio since the All-Star break.
ANALYSIS
Crawford has launched two home runs across 85 at-bats since the break, but receiving any power from Crawford is purely a cherry on top, as he has a career-high 10 so far. The shortstop is best utilized in a platoon role versus righties, but his bat-to-ball skills have been consistent this season and he's getting on base at a high clip. He's hitting .288 against righties and his 14.9 percent walk rate overall is a career best.

Crawford took a small step back from his .273/.338/.376 slash line in 2021, but poorer offensive production across the league meant he still had a 104 wRC+ despite a .675 OPS last season. His usually-strong defense also took a step back with a minus-three DRS and minus-11 OAA. Crawford inked a $51 million extension in April, so his spot in Seattle's infield is secure, and he won't be shifting off shortstop following the acquisition of Kolten Wong. Crawford's contact and on-base skills (13.3 percent strikeout rate, 11.6 percent walk rate) remain solid, but his lack of power and speed doesn't provide much broad fantasy appeal. He hit leadoff 26 times in 2022, but the Mariners will likely want a more consistent bat atop the order, so he shouldn't be expected to be a strong source of runs either.
