Jake Cronenworth

At 32 years old, Cronenworth enters 2026 as a veteran second baseman coming off a down year, and early-season results suggest continued decline with a concerning .140 average through 100 at-bats. Once a reliable two-time All-Star with consistent run production, he now offers minimal upside in batting average and power categories that were previously his strengths. Fantasy managers should proceed with caution, as his lack of speed (just 1 stolen base) and diminishing offensive output make him a risky bench option rather than a dependable contributor in most formats. His path to relevance requires a dramatic second-half resurgence that his early numbers give little reason to expect.
