34. Jake Cronenworth

The Bullet Points

• Position: Second Base, Short Stop, Third Base
• Acquired: Jake Cronenworth was a Tampa Bay Ray Draft Pick, but he was traded oo the Padres organization while he was still in the Minors. In looking at the transaction, Cronenworth was the steal. The Infielder debuted for San Diego, where he was the National League Rookie of the Year runner-up. Cronenworth improved as a sophomore, earning an All-Star appearance, and concluding the year with 21 Home Runs, 71 RBI, and 151 Hits. 2022 was just as good (17 HR, 88 RBI), with Cronenworth adding a second All-Star. Cronenworth comes into 2023 as a star on a contender, and should catapult up this list.
