J.P. Crawford

Crawford was perhaps the biggest disappointment amongst a host of them in Seattle's position player group last season. Out of 169 players to accrue at least 450 plate appearances, Crawford ranked 163rd with a .625 OPS, which was nearly a 200-point drop from his .818 mark in 2023. Crawford's offensive performance in 2023 is the clear outlier in his career, particularly from a power perspective, so a repeat in 2024 wasn't expected. The fall was alarming, though, particularly against right-handers, with the left-handed batting Crawford slashing a paltry .173/.283/.282 versus righties. A modest bounceback in 2025 is likely, especially if the Mariners give Crawford another shot in the leadoff spot. That said, Crawford's fantasy ceiling is limited even if things break right.
