Seager's homer in 12th sends Dodgers to 11-6 win over Padres

Corey Seager hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer on Tim Hill’s first pitch of the 12th inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres 11-6 in a tense, entertaining first...

Reaches base four times Cronenworth went 2-for-2 with two RBI, two doubles, two walks and a stolen base in Thursday's 8-3 win over the Pirates.

Impact Thursday was more of the same for the second-year infielder, whose torrid start to 2021 is highlighted by a .358 average, five doubles and a 4:7 K/BB ratio. Following a strong rookie campaign, Cronenworth faced additional pressure to perform with the signing of Ha-Seong Kim, but he'll remain in the San Diego lineup after Fernando Tatis returns as long as he keeps his OBP anywhere close to its current .435 mark. His defensive versatility only helps his chances of staying in the lineup throughout the season amidst his team's impressive infield depth.

Racks up three hits Cronenworth went 3-for-4 with a walk and scored a run in a victory over the Rangers on Saturday.

Impact Cronenworth has already registered two three-hit performances through nine games, and he is slashing a superb .364/.462/.485 in the early going. The 27-year-old has yet to hit a home run or steal a base, but he appears in line for an everyday role at second base this season, and his bat-to-ball skills translate to a high batting-average floor.

Hometown no-no: Musgrove no-hitter for Padres vs. Rangers

Collects three hits Monday Cronenworth went 3-for-5 in Monday's loss to the Giants.

Impact Cronenworth has started each of the Padres' first five games this season, registering a .412/.545/.647 slash line in 22 plate appearances. There was some expectation that he would bounce around some this season with the arrival of Ha-Seong Kim, but Cronenworth has so far looked like San Diego's everyday second baseman. With Fernando Tatis potentially missing substantial time due to a shoulder injury, Kim is likely to fill in at shortstop, further cementing Cronenworth's regular spot in the lineup.

On base four times Opening Day Cronenworth went 2-for-2 with a triple, two walks and three runs scored in Thursday's 8-7 victory over Arizona.

Impact The co-runner-up for the 2020 NL Rookie of the Year award picked up where he left off last season, reaching base in all four of his trips to the plate. He scored the Padres' first run of the campaign after singling in the second inning and capped his day by scoring the game-deciding run following a triple in the seventh. Though he's expected to share time at second base with Ha-seong Kim this season, Cronenworth's versatility should allow him to garner plenty of at-bats, and manager Jayce Tingler may be hard pressed to keep out of the lineup if he continues producing as he did Opening Day.

Jake Cronenworth and Trent Grisham are underrated keys to Padres’ success Heading into a crucial season in San Diego, Jake Cronenworth and Trent Grisham have helped change the trajectory of the franchise.

Gearing up for flexible role Cronenworth has logged time at first and second base during spring training, and he is expected to spend some time in the outfield as well, according to AJ Cassavell of MLB.com.

Impact Cronenworth emerged as San Diego's primary second baseman last season, but the team's offseason acquisition of Ha-seong Kim is likely to result in a split in playing time at the position between the pair in 2021. As such, Cronenworth could move around more defensively, including logging time in the outfield -- which he has not yet done in his professional career. The 27-year-old is a solid defender and showed his versatility last season by spending time at all four infield positions, so he is a logical candidate to fill a super-utility role for the Padres. Cronenworth is slashing .375/.412/.438 through seven Cactus League games, giving manager Jayce Tingler ample reason to get his bat into the lineup on a near-everyday basis.

Could play some outfield in 2021 The Padres will consider experimenting with using Cronenworth in the outfield following the signing of Ha-seong Kim on Monday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Fernando Tatis and Manny Machado cemented on the left side of the infield and Cronenworth coming off a strong season at the keystone, the signing of Kim creates a bit of an infield logjam for the Friars. As a result, it looks like the club will try both Cronenworth and Kim in the outfield next spring in an attempt to possibly get both of their bats in the lineup on a regular basis. A return of the designated hitter in the National League would certainly simplify things for San Diego.

Impact With Fernando Tatis receiving his first day off of the season, Cronenworth will take his spot both in the field and in the batting order. Cronenworth, who previously hasn't hit higher than fourth, has mostly been serving as the Padres' No. 7 hitter in September while slashing .211/.308/.316 on the month.
