2023 Fantasy Outlook
"Pesky" may be the best word to describe Cronenworth as a player. He did not have a particularly good season by his standards (.722 OPS), but he lays off pitches out of the zone and punishes mistakes. Despite a Statcast hard-hit rate ranking in the bottom quarter of the league, Cronenworth got to a respectable 17 homers last season. He made the most of his lineup placement batting in front of Manny Machado and eventually Juan Soto. He puts the ball in play at a strong clip (career 16.5 K%), but this is not a flashy talent. What makes Cronenworth appealing is dual-position eligibility (2B, 1B), everyday playing time in a good offense and a relatively high floor thanks to his contact and plate management skills. If everyone else is jumping at the perceived higher-upside players, welcome him to your roster with open arms as he's a strong bet to clear 600 plate appearances again. Read Past Outlooks
Reaches deal for 2023
Cronenworth agreed to a one-year, $4.225 million contract with the Padres on Friday to avoid arbitration, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
It's the first year of arbitration eligibility for the 28-year-old, and he'll receive a massive raise from his pre-arbitration figures. Cronenworth had a .239/.332/.390 slash line with 17 home runs and 88 RBI in 158 games last season, and he's expected to begin 2023 as San Diego's primary first baseman.

Stat Review
How does Jake Cronenworth 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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
On the surface, Cronenworth followed up on his strong 2020 campaign with an equal effort across a full 2021 season, but a deeper look offers reason for pause. Though he topped 20 home runs and his ISO remained stable at .194, Cronenworth's xSLG dipped from .538 to .445 and his barrel rate fell to a near league-average 7.2 percent clip. After successfully swiping three of four stolen bases in 2020, Cronenworth was successful on only four of seven attempts in 2021. Meanwhile his .283 BABIP suggests his .266 batting average should rise, yet his infield-flyball rate rose from 4.8% to 10.4% and his flyball rate from 29.4% to 36.1%. Despite some of these negatives, Cronenworth hit between second and fourth in the Padres' lineup in 504 of his 643 plate appearances in 2021. If he can maintain that role in 2022, he should remain a solid fantasy contributor in all five categories, though a significant jump in production doesn't appear to be a probable outcome.
