San Diego second baseman Jake Cronenworth's postseason slump is serious.
Cronenworth started as a second baseman and eighth hitter in Game 3 of the National League Division Series (NLDS) at Petco Park in San Diego, California on the 9th (Korea Standard Time).
Cronenworth is rarely seen in batting order eight during the regular season. Cronenworth is mostly placed at the centerline. However, he was so sluggish in the postseason, dubbed the "Autumn Baseball," that he came down to No. 8, the lowest lineup.
Cronenworth has yet to report a hit in the four postseason games he played before Sunday's game. According to the "Game Note" released by the San Diego Padres ahead of Game 3 of the NLDS, Cronenworth has been extremely sluggish this postseason, with no hits in 13 at-bats. While he has not had a single hit, he has had as many as six strikeouts.
Cronenworth, a Michigan native in the U.S., made his big league debut in 2020 after being traded from his former team Tampa Bay to San Diego. Having been the team's main second baseman since his debut year, he has grown into an infielder with enough power to hit double-digit home runs every year until this year.
He is loved by many fans as he has been named an All-Star for two consecutive years from 2021 to 2022. In recognition of Cronenworth's value, the San Diego Padres even gave him a seven-year, $80 million contract extension last year.
As if living up to his expectations, he played in a total of 155 games this season, contributing to San Diego's advance to the postseason with a batting average of 0.241 and 17 homers and 83 RBIs. However, when the postseason began, the hitting sense was frozen as if he had made a promise. 토토사이트
Cronenworth reported his first hit of the postseason against Dodgers starter Walker Buehler (30) in his first at-bat in Game 3 of the NLDS on the 9th.
Cronenworth must come to life at bat if San Diego, which is aiming to win its first World Series title since its foundation, is to make that dream come true. Attention is focusing on whether Cronenworth, who reported his first hit, will be able to continue to emit fire.
