Here’s part 1 of this 3-part series: DECLAN CRONIN — RHP
RHP Declan Cronin was promoted to the Knights from Double-A Birmingham on June 20 and was solid out of the Charlotte bullpen this past season.
In 27 games with the Knights in 2022, Cronin posted a 1–0 record with one save and a 3.52 ERA over 23.0 innings pitched.
