The MLB Draft is just 10 days away. keithlaw mocks up how he thinks things will play out with this year's incredibly strong class. And he has LSU’s Paul Skenes going No. 1 to the Pirates ⤵️
I had a scout say to me that Washington is actually in the best position of any team in the draft – they like two players, and they’ll get one of them, and the most likely outcome is that the Pirates take one of the two and the Nats don’t even have to think before submitting a name on draft night. I imagine if Crews gets here, it’s full slot, if not slightly above.
Crews has performed for three years in Baton Rouge, hitting for average, getting on base, posting solid contact rates and even playing above-average defense in center. He destroyed non-SEC pitching, and while he was worse within the conference, he still led SEC hitters in average and OBP through the end of the regular season, and ranked seventh in slugging, with more walks than strikeouts .
