Cronenworth

Cronenworth responded to an extension that begins in 2024 with the worst season of his career.

Jake Cronenworth’s power has declined every year he’s been in the Majors, and now he’d have to hitch a ride to punch-and-judy land.

Odor made his third start in right field last night before moving to second base in the eighth inning when Melvin, for defensive purposes, removed Carpenter and shifted Cronenworth back to first base and put José Azocar in to play right field.

Toronto’s George Springer made a leaping catch on the warning track in right field to retire Padres 1B Jake Cronenworth for the first out of the sixth.

Fernando Tatis Jr. and Jake Cronenworth hit back-to-back homers, Dylan Cease pitched 6 2/3 strong innings and the San Diego Padres won their third game in a row, beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-1 on Friday night.

I can understand a first place vote for Cronenworth, as he would have been more likely to maintain his pace over a typical 162-game season, but my vote, if I had one, would have gone to Williams.

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Alec Bohm, San Diego Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth and Milwaukee Brewers reliever Devin Williams are the top finishers for the NL rookie award.

The Padres finally got off to a hot start in the second with Jake Cronenworth’s double that scored Eric Hosmer.
