Former USC recruit JP Crawford never went to college, instead going pro when he was still young after getting selected in the first round of the 2013 MLB draft. He has since had a strong MLB career as a player for the Philadelphia Phillies and Seattle Mariners. While he often gets a lot of attention on social media, he is not the only member of his family to get active on social media platforms.
Crawford’s sister, Eliza Crawford, is often active on social media. Early on Wednesday morning, she posted on her Instagram story, wishing one of her friends a happy birthday. She included a video of her with her friend on the beach. As she walked into the water in the video, Crawford posed in a bright red bikini.
“Happy birthday to my Seattle sister,” Eliza Crawford wrote.
Eliza was also an athlete during her college days. She played softball for California State. She graduated following the 2014-15 season. Eliza is now a softball content creator and coaches young girls as they progress on their journeys as softball players.
JP Crawford Committed to USC Before Starting His Pro Baseball Career
Most fans will be aware of JP Crawford because of his success in the MLB. However, before he was selected by the Philadelphia Phillies in the first round of the 2013 MLB draft, he was a highly sought-after recruit in college. He initially committed to the USC Trojans, but after getting selected high in the MLB draft, he decided to pursue his pro baseball career in the minor league ranks.
Crawford played in the minor leagues before getting his first MLB call-up in September 2017. He went on to be an opening day starter in 2018 for the Phillies. However, he was traded to Seattle following the 2018 season. He has been a member of the Mariners since the 2019 season.
While Crawford is a good player on the field, he has also stood out for his actions off of it. On Monday, it was announced that he was the Mariners nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award for the second year in a row. The award is given to the player who best represents baseball through extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy, and positive contributions, both on and off the field.
