The Washington Nationals called up their top prospect to end the year in the Majors, but what should they expect from Dylan Crews in 2025?
The 2023 MLB draft featured some of the highest touted prospects in quite some time, from Paul Skenes, Wyatt Langford, and of course, theCrews played in 35 games in the minor leagues for the Nationals in 2023 across three levels, finishing with the Double-A Harrisburg Senators. The outfielder batted .292/.377/.467 in 159 plate appearances over that stretch with five home runs and 29 RBI.
Debuting on Aug. 26, Crews went 0-for-3 with one walk and one strikeout in the first game of a three-game series against the, a double off of Gerrit Cole in the second inning, registering at 104.4 MPH off the bat. He finished 2-for-4 with a double and a stolen base. While the surface numbers are unsightly, things are not as bleak as they may seem for Crews. He finished the year batting .218, but he also carried a ghastly .253 BABIP, well below the Major League average of .291. This gave him an xBA of .253, a difference of four hits.
Fastballs and offspeed offerings were the outfielder's bread and butter, batting .288 on fastballs and .250 on offspeed pitches. On the other hand, breaking balls were his kryptonite, batting only .098 on those offerings.
