Jake Cronenworth's campaign to win the National League Rookie of the Year
Award is in full swing.
A month ago, it would have taken a pretty deep dive to find Cronenworth's
name on a list of NL ROY candidates, but things change fast in 2020, and the
Padres' No. 19 prospect has quickly vaulted himself to the very front of the
race. continued his fast start with a 2-for-3 performance in San Diego's 6-4
win over the Rangers on Tuesday.
1個月前，你很難把Cronenworth放進ROY候選，但目前，這位教士排名19的新秀
迅速將自己提上這場競爭頂端，今天6:4教士打敗條子的比賽中，3打數2安打
Acquired from the Rays in December, Cronenworth was viewed as an average
defender with a plus arm and the ability to make all the necessary plays.
He's lived up to that billing and then some. The 26-year-old, a seventh-round
pick from the 2015 Draft, has seen time at all four infield spots this season
and has made both the routine and highlight-worthy plays. While he hasn't
been asked to pitch yet, Cronenworth was a two-way player at Michigan and in
the Rays' system, so it's certainly possible we could see him on the mound at
some point this year, too.
在12月從光芒交易來時，Cronenworth被評估為平均等級的防守者，plus的臂力並可完成
基本的play。而實際上，這名26歲-2015年第7輪被選中的新秀，今年已經在內野四個守位
出現，並完成許多高難度守備。同時，他還沒踏上投手丘，他在密西根和光芒系統中都是
二刀流的選手，或許今年我們就可以看到他登板
Cronenworth's defensive value shouldn't overshadow the contributions he's
made to the Padres' offense. He is slashing .321/.387/.994 and has reached
base in five straight games.
同時，他的打擊也表現出色，.321/.387/.607的三圍，目前連續五場上壘
The American League Rookie of the Year race is loaded with options, but at
the moment, the NL ballot isn't nearly as crowded. Cronenworth has clearly
put himself in a good position, and if he continues to produce, it's looking
like he may end the season with an addition to his trophy case.
美聯ROY的選項相當的多，但國聯就相對較少，Cronenworth已經來到相當好的競爭位置
賽季短所以沒多久就開始討論季末獎項了
