There’s nothing like seeing one LSU legend give some props to another.
Before the Houston Astros game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night, third baseman and former Tigers star [autotag]Alex Bregman[/autotag] paid homage to newly drafted [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] by donning a custom shirt.
Like Bregman back in 2015, Crews also became the second overall pick in the MLB draft when he was selected by the Washington Nationals earlier this month one pick after LSU teammate [autotag]Paul Skenes[/autotag] became the first overall pick.
Crews will hope he can have similar success in his professional career as Bregman, a two-time All-Star and World Series champion who won the Silver Slugger Award back in 2019.

One of the best players in program history, Crews will also hope to follow Bregman’s quick trajectory through the minors after he reached the Major League ranks in just his second professional season.
