Phillies boss Dave Dombrowski says rookie outfielder Justin Crawford showed durability in 149 games, hitting .264 with a .662 OPS, but needs more on‑base skill to become a 30‑40‑steal threat like the Rays’ Chandler Simpson. Manager Don Mattingly stresses higher walk rates and better strike‑zone control, while Crawford’s speed (17 steals, four caught) hints at upside. The article argues that improving plate discipline and earning daily starts could help the 22‑year‑old emulate the Brewers‑Rays style of aggressive baserunning that defined this World Series.
