PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — 23-year-old J.P. Crawford has only played in 23 MLB games.

The 6’2, 180-pound Phillies infielder joined the 94WIP Morning Show in Clearwater on Thursday morning and oozed with confidence.

Crawford raved about new manager Gabe Kapler, calling this clubhouse the “best clubhouse he’s ever been in.
