"Dylan Crews was optioned to Triple-A Rochester rather than getting the big-league nod after batting an abysmal .103 in spring training. The Nationals' new staff made it clear that it does not matter who you are; you must earn your spot."
"In 20 games for the Rochester Red Wings, Crews has a .257 batting average, .742 OPS, 2 home runs, 9 RBIs, and 5 stolen bases, but he also has a poor 25% strikeout rate."
"Crews was scouted as a player with great plate discipline, rarely going outside the zone while teeing off on the pitches he could drive, but the hype surrounding him has diminished over the past nearly three years."
Dylan Crews, the Nationals' 2023 1st-round draft pick, was optioned to Triple-A Rochester after a poor spring training. In 20 games, he has a .257 batting average and a 25% strikeout rate. Despite being a highly touted prospect from LSU, his performance has not met expectations. In 2025, he struggled in the majors with a .208 average and 76 strikeouts. The Nationals' new staff emphasizes that players must earn their spots, leaving Crews's return uncertain.
