Colorado Rockies first baseman C.J. Cron was among the hottest hitters to start the 2022 season, launching seven home runs and slugging .638 in April. Things have gotten a bit tougher for him in May, as he has not homered since May 3, and he has a .286 slugging percentage with 13 strikeouts in his last seven games and 28 at-bats. Still, fantasy managers have to be pleased with the early returns. Cron has always been a streaky option, but he's an option well worth having for when the homers and RBI are rolling in, especially in an advantageous home ballpark like Coors Field.
