2026 MLB Rookies Ready to Shake Up the Game: Who Will Become the Next Superstar?
Justin Crawford, Philadelphia Phillies
Position: CF; Age: 22; B/T: L/R; Highest 2025 Level: Triple-A
Right-hander Andrew Painter is the higher-rated prospect, but it’s the speedy Crawford who is more MLB-ready at this point. That shouldn’t come as a surprise with Justin being the son of four-time MLB All-Star Carl Crawford, who stole 480 bases in his MLB career before retirement.
The younger Crawford could provide just the jolt of youth and athleticism the Phillies have needed in recent years while coming up short of their World Series dreams. The 6-2 prospect spent all of 2025 in Triple-A and won the International League batting crown while posting a .334 batting average to go with his sterling .411 on-base percentage and 46 stolen bases in 112 games.
