Brandon Crawford’s 2018 was yet another instance of what could have been. After getting off to an absolutely abysmal start in which he had a .189 average on May 1, Crawford put together the best two months of his career. From May 1 to June 30, Crawford slashed .372/.436/.602 across 218 plate appearances. That’s a 1.038 OPS and a 178 wRC+. Even with a lost April, Crawford was having an MVP season.
Even though he hit like Mike Trout for two months of the seasons, the other months were atrocious enough to bring his overall numbers back to earth.
