At the PBR Utah State Games, Crutchfeld followed up his stellar performance at the RA Baseball Scout Day earlier in the month, where he touched 90 with the FB and reached an 88 mph high from the left side, which was the tops among southpaws at the event. A pop-up senior prospect, Crutchfeld has a loose and easy arm inside an upside 6-foot-3 build. He was up to 90 mph at Utah’s RA Scout Day earlier in the month, mentioned earlier, and his unharnessed ability to spin the fastball and the breaking ball offers some added projection to his next-level profile.
