23-Year-Old OutfielderOF
Washington Nationals
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

Crews went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Mets.
Analysis
The 23-year-old outfielder extended a modest hitting streak to six games as he attempts to close a tough second season in the majors on a high note. Crews sports a .258/.313/.403 slash line through 19 games in September, a step up from his .215/.287/.356 line on the year, and during the final month he's supplied two of his nine homers and three of his 17 steals.

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?
OFWashington Nationals
April 22, 2025
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.
