Hit: (RHH) Advanced projectable. Starts in an open stance with a smooth load, then uses a big leg kick. Electric bat speed. Good extension on his finish, short level swing. Aggressive gap to gap approach.
Power: 101 mph exit velocity, average 83.56 mph. 78.05 mph bat speed average. 24.60 mph hand speed average. Highest at the event.
Defense: (IF) Sure hands, smooth footwork, clean exchange. Projectable. Laterally, movements were average and fielded the ball out front.
Arm: 82 mph infield velocity. Loose arm action, high ¾ slot.
Speed: 7.30 (60-yard).
Pitching: Projectable. Tall-and-fall delivery, some effort. Over-the-top arm angle, quick arm speed, loose arm action. Athletic balance point, a falling off finish.

Pitching: Projectable. Tall-and-fall delivery, some effort. High ¾ arm angle, above average arm speed, loose arm action. Strong balance point, in line shoulders, lands square, an upright finish.
FB: T83. 80-82 mph. (Max spin 2014; Avg 1915). Some accuracy, slight action, heavy movement.
CH: 71-73 mph. Decent control, running action, heavy movement.
At 6-foot-3, 185-pounds, there’s plenty to like in the frame, and he put up some impressive Blast metrics during his round of batting practice. Crawford should evolve into a power bat in the class, and though there is some rawness defensively at SS, he should continue to develop at the position over the next few years.
