Carl Crawford has an estimated net worth of $45 million
Carl Crawford is an American professional baseball player with an estimated net worth of $45 million. Crawford is currently an outfielder with the MLB’s Los Angeles Dodgers. He is 6’2″ and weighs 215 pounds. Carl Delmonte Crawford was born on August 5, 1981 in Houston, Texas. His mother, Leisha Crawford, was an accomplished athlete in her own right playing volleyball and basketball in her youth and encouraging Crawford and his younger brother to play sports. Crawford’s father left the family when he was a child but he received support from his uncle who also played ball professionally. Crawford was a natural athlete, playing football, basketball and baseball early on and becoming a star athlete in all three sports in high school.
Although he had a scholarship to play quarterback at the University of Nebraska, Crawford surprised many by agreeing to a contract with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays – who selected him with the first pick in the second round of the 1999 MLB Draft – including a $1.2 million signing bonus. He honed his craft for a couple of years in the minor leagues before making his big league debut in 2002 at 20-years old, becoming the youngest player to start in the team’s history. His speed, power and fielding abilities — which earned him the nickname “The Perfect Storm” — gained him immediate success and primed him for a highly successful career.
In 2003, Crawford would start the year with a bang, hitting a walk-off home run to win the opening game. His stats would improve the following year, when he was selected to the All-Star Game for the first time. In 2007, he made his second All-Star appearance and in 2008 he led the team to the playoffs, recording five hits in a game against the Boston Red Sox. In 2010, Crawford signed a 7-year, $142 million with Boston but was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2012. In 2013, Basketball Wives reality star Evelyn Lozada – who was previously married to football star Chad Johnson — revealed that she was pregnant with Crawford’s baby and the two planned to be married.
