Brandon Crawford has had worse months at the plate. That’s about the nicest thing I can say about the offensive contributions of our majestic shortstop. Crawford ended April with an OPS of .495. His slump has been easy to hide among the Giants who are caught in a three-way tie for worst wRC+ with Cleveland and Colorado. When no one is hitting, it’s hard to notice who is hitting the least. But that would be Crawford.
He’s hitting .198/.277/.218. He’s the only qualified Giant who hasn’t homered at least once. His only extra-base hits have been two doubles, and those both came in the first week of the season.
