The No. 2 pick in the 2023 MLB draft, former LSU outfielder Dylan Crews, was elevated to Double A by the Nationals on Sunday, per MLB.com’s Jessica Camareto.
The 21-year-old will play for the Harrisburg Senators, whose next series begins on Tuesday. Crews is skipping the High A level after playing in just 14 Low A games and just one rookie-level game this summer.
In his lone appearance in the Florida Complex League, Crews went 3-for-3 and scored three runs on Aug. 3. He then recorded 22 hits, 16 runs, five home runs, 24 RBI and a 1.068 OPS in two weeks.
