Jake Cronenworth shines despite Padres' loss
by Chris Schommer | Padres Correspondent | Sun, Sep 1st 8:26am EDT
Jake Cronenworth went 3-for-5 in the Padres' 11-4 defeat to the Rays, delivering a home run, a double, and driving in two runs.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance was a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing game for San Diego. This outing pushed his season batting average slightly up, though it still hovers around the .250 mark. Cronenworth's consistent power-hitting, evidenced by his 16 home runs and 26 doubles this season, keeps him relevant in fantasy leagues, particularly those that value extra-base hits and RBI. However, his lack of stolen bases and moderate strikeout rate limit his upside in categories leagues. Moving forward, fantasy managers should continue to view Cronenworth as a reliable middle-infield option, especially in formats that reward power and RBI production.
