Brandon Crawford career

Crawford was chosen by the San Francisco Giants with the 117th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2008 MLB draft. He agreed to a $375,000 signing bonus.

2009 saw Crawford begin his first full professional season with the Class-A Advanced San Jose Giants. With six home runs, 17 RBIs, and a.371 batting average in 25 games, he had a.600 slugging percentage and 1.045 OPS.

Crawford played the remainder of the season with the Double-A Connecticut Defenders, where he was promoted in May. In 108 games, he hit.258/.294/.365 and had four home runs.

After starting the 2010 season in Double-A (now with the Richmond Flying Squirrels), Crawford batted.241/.337/.375 in 79 games and was selected for the Eastern League mid-season All-Star team. However, in early July, Crawford sustained a broken hand that kept him out of the field for almost two months.

After receiving an invitation to spring training in 2011, Crawford had to start the season in San Jose while he healed from a fractured finger that he sustained in the last week of the season.

In 59 at-bats, he batted.322/.412/.593 there. Then, in 107 at-bats in AAA, he batted.234/.291/.327. He was selected for the AFL All-Prospect Team.

On May 26, 2011, the Giants promoted Crawford to the major leagues for the first time when Darren Ford, Mike Fontenot, and Buster Posey suffered injuries.

On May 27, Crawford faced the Milwaukee Brewers in his Major League Baseball debut. In his third at-bat of the game, he hit his first Major League hit, a grand slam off of Shaun Marcum of the Brewers.

Following their acquisition of shortstop Orlando Cabrera on July 31, the Giants optioned Crawford to their Triple-A affiliate, the Fresno Grizzlies.

As the team’s opening-day shortstop in 2012, Crawford batted eighth in the lineup. In 143 games, he batted.248 with four home runs, 26 doubles, and 45 RBI.

In 2013, Joaquín Árias was the backup shortstop for the Giants, and Crawford was the starting option. Throughout the season, he hit.248/.311/.363 in 149 games, with 9 home runs and 43 RBI.

Crawford hit.246 in 153 games and recorded career highs with ten home runs and 69 RBIs. On April 13, Crawford defeated the Colorado Rockies’ Rex Brothers with a walk-off home run in the eleventh inning. With nine RBIs during the 2014 postseason, Crawford topped all Giants.

On January 27, 2015, Crawford and the Giants reached a one-year, $3.175 million agreement, avoiding arbitration. On May 16, Crawford hit a career-high six runs in scoring against Cincinnati Reds pitcher Mike Leake, his third grand slam of the year (fourth including the postseason).

Crawford led the team in RBIs in May and, on July 1, hit his 11th home run of the year, a record for him.

Crawford hit.256 with 21 home runs, 84 RBIs, 33 doubles, and 130 hits, setting career highs in multiple offensive categories. Since Bill Dahlen in 1905, Crawford is the first shortstop for the Giants to lead the team in home runs.

Crawford and the Giants reached an agreement to sign a six-year, $75 million contract that would expire after the 2021 campaign. Crawford’s first four years of free agency and the last two years of salary arbitration were covered under the agreement.

There is a no-trade clause in the contract, which means that Crawford would have to agree to be dealt. Crawford’s right groin injury put him on the 10-day disabled list on April 29, 2017.

After hitting.253/.305/.403 with 14 home runs and 77 RBI in 2017, he won the Gold Glove Award for the third time in a row. He was the first Giant to win four in a row since J. T. Snow (1997–2000) and the first shortstop to win three in a row since Jimmy Rollins (2007–09).

On June 27, 2018, Crawford gave the Giants a 1-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies with a walk-off home run. Crawford became the first player for the Giants to win a game 1-0 with a walk-off solo home run since Steve Decker in April 1991.

With eight home runs and twenty-three RBIs in 2020, he batted.256/.326/.465 the greatest slugging percentage of his career. At 25.7 feet per second, he was the slowest major league shortstop sprinter.

In his 1,326th game as a shortstop with the Giants, Crawford started on June 8, 2021, surpassing Travis Jackson for the most number of games played at the position in team history.

Crawford consented to a two-year extension for $32 million through 2023 on August 13. He batted in 2022 for the Giants. In 407 at-bats, he hit 231/.308/.344 with 9 home runs and 52 RBIs. Defensively, he led the NL in range factor per game (3.88) at shortstop.

After fellow infielder Brandon Belt left the team in the off-season, Crawford became the Giants’ longest-serving player. On June 11, he relieved in a scoreless ninth inning during a 13–3 victory over the Chicago Cubs, marking his first major-league appearance as a pitcher.
