[autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] may not be donning the Purple and Gold anymore but he’s still hitting Crews Missiles. Crews was the No. 2 pick in the 2024 MLB draft by the Washington Nationals and has been chosen to participate in spring training with the Major League squad.
This does not mean that Crews will make the major league team in his first season, though. Crews is the new kid on the block for the Nationals and the future of their franchise. The organization will use that angle to sell tickets for spring training games but also to get Crews some playing time with the big league guys.
It’s likely that Crews would start the season at the Nationals Double-A affiliate, the Harrisburg Senators. If he plays well, he may even start out at the Triple-A affiliate, the Rochester Red Wings. No matter where Crews lands, he will be headed for the majors soon.
