UConn, it’s a really big name. It’s a school that people look up to. People would see I was going to UConn and think it’s a really big deal.” So here he is with all these raw skills, nasty curve spun from that big left hand, mid-90s fastball when he’s right, and bat speed that propels the ball with even greater velocity, and often out of sight. Two-way players are rare at this level, but since Shohei Ohtani arrived with the Angels, it’s no longer unfathomable. Penders is willing to let Crawford do both, may at times move him from first base to the mound and back within games.
