Former LSU star outfielder [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] received the news that he is now one step closer to making his major league debut as he has been called up to the Washington Nationals Triple-A squad.

Crews started his season with the Nationals Double-A affiliate the [autotag]Harrisburg Senators[/autotag]. He has appeared in 51 games for Harrisburg and has a .274 batting average with 11 doubles, three triples, five homers, and 38 RBI. Crews is hitting 15-for-53 (.283) in June and he is on a five-game hitting streak.

Crews was the No. 2 pick in the 2023 MLB draft. He was taken one pick after his teammate [autotag]Paul Skenes[/autotag] was taken by the Pittsburgh Pirates to open the draft. Those two players helped LSU reach the mountaintop and win a National Championship for the Tigers.

The [autotag]Rochester Red Wings[/autotag] are the AAA affiliate of the Washington Nationals and they are currently 36-31 this season and have the third-best record in the International League East.
