Reggie Crawford could be in SF Giants’ bullpen by end of this season

San Francisco Giants left-handed pitcher Reggie Crawford looks on during other pitchers’ bullpen sessions during the first day of spring training, Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2024, at Scottsdale Stadium. SAN FRANCISCO — Once viewed as a two-way project hampered by his lack of health, Reggie Crawford is all of a sudden one step away from the major leagues.

Standing 6-foot-4 and 235 pounds, Crawford throws a fastball that reaches the upper 90s from the left side that overpowered Double-A hitters to the tune of 19 strikeouts in 9⅔ innings. Making his first appearance for Sacramento on Wednesday, Crawford walked a batter and hit another but otherwise recorded a scoreless inning on 12 pitches.

The Giants drafted Crawford 30th overall out of UConn in 2022 and initially planned to develop the muscular left-hander as a two-way player. But with his career slowed by injuries — recovering from Tommy John surgery when he was drafted, a bout of mononucleosis at the tailend of that rehab and a lat strain this spring after being invited to his first major-league spring training — Crawford abandoned that path to focus on pitching and accelerate his path to the major leagues.
