Rudy Crawford
Starting Pitcher | Val d'Or Sharks
Pitching Crawford performs extremely well in the late innings, but unfortunately his endurance prevents him from getting there very often. His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average starter. Crawford can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball is just average, and therefore he relies heavily on placing it in different parts of the strike zone or setting it up with his curveball. Crawford also has a decent changeup. He generates few groundballs, though he keeps the ball in the park. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.
Defense & Hitting He's average in terms of controlling the running game. Crawford is nothing special in the field. Crawford is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Crawford has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook Crawford has arguably the best stuff in baseball.
