2023 Fantasy Outlook
Crawford is in the final year of his most recent deal with San Franciso, the only organization he has ever known since geing taken in the 4th round of the 2008 draft. The perennial defensive wizard was not able to repeat his surprise offensive season of 2021, but rather fell back to his below-average offensive years of 2017-2019 as the taxes of playing a high profile defensive position begin to pile up on him. Crawford did miss some time with knee inflammation in the summer and his offense somewhat recovered upon his return as he hit .256/.324/.363 after his return compared to .215/297/.332 before going to the IL. The plate discipline skills are as stable as ever but the outcomes which surprised all of us in 2021 clearly look like a one-last gasp outlier more than any kind of new norm for him. It briefly appeared Crawford would be moving to third base in 2023, but he'll remain at shortstop since Carlos Correa's megadeal with the Giants fell through. Read Past Outlooks

Remaining at shortstop
Crawford will remain at shortstop in 2023 after Carlos Correa's agreement with the Giants fell through, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
The Giants had an introductory press conference scheduled for Correa on Tuesday, but something came up during his physical examination, and the 28-year-old is now joining the Mets. Crawford was slated to play a position other than shortstop for the first time in his MLB career, but he'll instead remain at the position for the final year of his contract in 2023. The Giants could technically still sign another shortstop, but a notable acquisition is unlikely with all the top options already off the market. Crawford appeared in 118 games last season and played through knee inflammation, and he had a .231/.308/.344 slash line with nine home runs and 52 RBI.

Stat Review
How does Brandon Crawford compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Crawford has not yet received the memo that shortstops are supposed to age poorly into their mid-30s and move off the position. All he did in 2021 was have his best ever offensive season with career bests in every single counting category as well as batting average, OBP and SLG. He even led the league in best hair by an infielder. His improvement was not as much as him doing better versus lefties, as he was still below league average in that split, but he was out of his mind against righties with a 156 wRC+ and a .319/.401/.560 slash line. His previous best against righties was a 120 wRC+ back in 2015. He did all this while adding more walks into his game and returning his strikeout rate to where it was pre-pandemic. Eventually, Father Time is going to win this battle, but in the meantime, Crawford has fully embraced Oracle Park's new profile and is now a game changer at the plate as well as in the field.
