| Huge leg kick that gets his toe to head level. Loves to mix up his delivery and timing, sometimes with a double or triple windup. Will even tap his front and back feet up and down several times before the leg kick. Although the pre-delivery motion is never the same, the arm action is usually consistent at three-quarter. He will occasionally short arm the ball behind his ear, especially on changeups. There is definitely an inverted-W arm load and a touch of effort in the motion. He doesn't use his legs enough to create momentum, evidence by the lack of follow through. |

Mostly 88 and 89, topping 90 and 91 a small handful of times. Some sinking action. Can be a great groundball pitch when located down. |

Does a good job of commanding the pitch, especially to the arm side of the plate. Pitch features both excellent fading and running action, generating some swing and misses |

Crawford only has one potentially major league worthy pitch, his changeup. With his fastball 6 to 10 MPH slower than it needs to be, and an almost complete lack of a breaking ball, Crawford is destined for the bullpen. The quality of the changeup prevents me from listing him as an organizational arm. He throws enough strikes for there to be a tight, but still existent path for him to the bigs as a matchup reliever.
