J.P. Crawford Can Reach A Career Milestone With The Seattle Mariners | On The Cusp Of Team’s First Playoff Appearance Since 2001

This is a very attractive time in the MLB season. Teams are playing for a spot in the postseason and it’s a competitive battle. Just ask the Seattle Mariners, who are in the driver’s seat to secure one of the three AL Wild Card slots. If the Mariners make the postseason, it will be the first time that star shortstop, J.P. Crawford will play in the postseason and the first time in two decades that the franchise made the postseason. 

Crawford’s had a lot of success in his five full MLB seasons. Our MLBbro has established himself as an elite defender and has the hardware to back that up, as he won a Gold Glove Award back in 2020.

 

 

He has proven himself to be a leader on the field and has gained a lot of respect throughout the league.

Every player wants a shot to play in the World Series at some point of their career. But to get there, you have to make the postseason first. Crawford has a real opportunity to play beyond the month of September.
