C.J. Cron providing Rockies with power at a bargain price by psaundersdp
He’s started every game from the cleanup spot and is hitting .300 with two home runs, a rare triple , and a 1.033 OPS.
He launched a 451-foot homer in the ninth inning of the Rockies’ 6-4 win over the Rangers on Monday night at Globe Life Field. Since the start of last season, Cron has hit nine home runs of at least 450 feet, the most in the majors. “I don’t go up to the plate trying to hit home runs, but I always try to hit the ball hard when I get up there,” Cron said. “And it seems like when I get them, they go.”
Added Black: “He’s got raw power. You put him at home plate and you put on a little exhibition about who hits the ball the farthest? He’s up there. He’s up there with the big boys.”“He’s a steady veteran, for sure,” Black said. “He has a nice way about him, where he’s intense and focused but loose at the same time. That’s good for our group. We have some lesser-service-time guys and C.J. is one of our more veteran players. In his own way, he’s been very impactful for this group.
