Crews is hitting .224 with a .296 on-base percentage and two home runs in 12 games. He’s 1 for 8 with seven strikeouts since he returned from the injury. For the season, he has just three walks and 20 strikeouts, a concerning ratio considering that his bat-to-ball skills made him such a highly touted prospect.




Holy actual frick. These are horrible numbers

His average was at about .275 when he got injured, and since he came back he's 1 for 8 with 7 strikeouts. His timing is off, and they didn't play him last night which lets you know they think he is not healthy yet (they don't sit top draft picks on the bench in the minor leauges because of performance). He was coming along nicely before the injury set him back. His strike out rate was a little high, but it wasn't silly like it has been since he tried to come back from the injury.

Everything is still a small sample size.

We all know Crews was a heck of a patient hitter in College Baseball. The strike outs shows you that AA pitchers absolutely fill the zone with strikes. Not many free passes as you move up.

The fact that AA pitchers fill the zone with vertical and horizontal moving strikes, is scary for players making the adjustments from College ball.

If you think about how good MLB pitching is it really makes you respect the great hitters in MLB that can hit that stuff.

His average jumped 26 points today with just two hits. That’s how early in the season it is, and 7 of those strikeouts came when he came back from injury after sitting out nearly two weeks.
