Dylan Crews, the Washington Nationals' promising outfielder and second overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, has struggled early in the season, going hitless in his first five games. Despite his struggles, he has displayed strong exit velocities and consistent hits, albeit right at defenders. Crews' manager emphasized the importance of maintaining focus and refining his approach at the plate. As he navigates this challenging start, it is expected that performance fluctuations will occur over the long MLB season. Crews' focus remains on development, anticipating improved outcomes in future games.
“Definitely feels good that we were able to barrel up a couple of baseballs,” Crews said. “But it's baseball... you can do everything right in this game and it can be right at somebody. Some days they're going to fall. Some days, they're not.”
“His at-bats are getting better,” Manager Dave Martinez said. “He can't chase hits. That's the biggest thing right now. He's just got to see the ball, get ready early and stay in the middle of the field.”
