2025 Fantasy Outlook
A factor partially outside of Crews' control, Washington's propensity to steal bases under manager Dave Martinez, gives him a nice statistical floor in standard fantasy leagues. The Nationals led the majors with 223 steals and 296 attempts last year, and Crews stole more bases (12) in 31 MLB games than he did in 49 Triple-A games (10), despite having a notably lower OBP (.340 at Triple-A, .288 in MLB). Beyond potentially stealing 30-plus bases, Crews' likely role as an everyday player who steadily contributes in runs and RBI may be his top selling point for 2025. He was a career .275 hitter in the minors while being older than most high-end prospects at the levels he played at. Crews hit .313 with two homers in his first four MLB games and hit .204 with one home run over his next 27 games, although his 18.3 percent strikeout rate over that stretch was a non-issue. As long as you're drafting Crews for the speed and playing time rather than expecting a banner offensive season, he shouldn't disappoint. Read Past Outlooks
Lands on IL with oblique strain
The Nationals placed Crews on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left oblique strain.
ANALYSIS
Crews suffered the injury on a check swing during Tuesday's game against Atlanta. The severity of the strain has not been revealed, so it's difficult to say at this juncture how much time Crews might miss. Robert Hassell was called up from Triple-A Rochester to take Crews' spot on the roster and could get a long look in the Nationals outfield, especially with Jacob Young (shoulder) also banged up. Alex Call should also see an uptick in playing time.

Stat Review
How does Dylan Crews compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
It's revisionist history to say Crews was the undisputed top hitter in this class pre-draft. Some analysts preferred Wyatt Langford's bat. Now, after Crews went No. 2 overall and struggled in a small sample above Single-A while Langford went No. 4 overall and was arguably the most dangerous hitter in the minors during his climb to Triple-A, the vast majority of analysts and prospectors prefer Langford. The two college outfielders will be linked in the coming years, but for now, Langford could win a big-league job in spring training and Crews appears ticketed back to Double-A, where he slashed .208/.318/.278 with zero home runs and 19 strikeouts in 20 games. He struck out at a surprisingly high 26.8 percent clip in 14 games at Single-A, and Langford wasn't the only college hitter from last year's class to outproduce Crews in the upper levels -- Matt Shaw and Kyle Teel excelled at Double-A. Crews has a superb track record of production in high school and at LSU, with his OBP skill being his top trait. He has the raw power and future home park to hit 25-plus homers annually, although it will be worth tracking his groundball rate (47.2% at Double-A). Crews has the speed to steal 20 bases early in his career, but he should slow down in his late-20s. He has the talent and pedigree to attack the upper levels with vengeance early this season and get in the mix for a big-league call-up, and unlike Langford's situation in Texas, Crews will have no competition for playing time whenever he is deemed ready.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Finding groove offensively?
Crews is in the midst of a six-game hit streak and hasn't struck out in his past 25 plate appearances.
ANALYSIS
The rookie outfielder has gone 8-for-23 with a double, two homers and three steals during the streak, as he finally appears to have found his footing after a horrible start to the year. Crews collected just five hits and had a 36.7 percent strikeout rate in his first 13 games of the season, but the recent surge should be enough to keep him in the lineup awhile longer, assuming his production stabilizes.
