For the first time in MLB history, a pair of college teammates were selected with the first two picks of the draft.
LSU stars Paul Skenes and Dylan Crews were the first two players off the board during Sunday’s 2023 MLB draft, selected by the Pirates and Nationals respectively. Fresh off their national championship victory over Florida, the Tigers’ two biggest superstars made unprecedented history at the draft.
Additionally, the selections mark just the third time in MLB history that a single school has produced multiple top-three picks in one draft.
