"In 29 at bats this spring, Crews hit just .103 and has a .632 OPS. He failed to log an extra base hits and also tallied 11 strikeouts."
"Crews will need to take a serious step forward in AAA if he wants to show this new leadership group that he is a part of the Nationals future."
"Last season, Crews actually showed some signs that he would be a valuable player, as his bat speed was 73.3 miles per hour, good enough to be in the upper percentiles of Major League players."
Dylan Crews, the Washington Nationals' 2023 first round pick, was demoted to AAA after hitting .103 with a .632 OPS in spring training. He recorded no extra base hits and struck out 11 times in 29 at bats. Despite showing potential last season with good bat speed and fielding statistics, Crews has struggled with high strikeouts and low walk rates. The Nationals hope he can develop further in AAA. Joey Wiemer is expected to take his place on the roster despite his own struggles in the Major Leagues.
