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
Swipes 11th bag in win
Crews went 2-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Phillies.
ANALYSIS
Crews was a pest all night and came around to score on a homer by Joey Gallo in the eighth inning. The 22-year-old has gone just 4-for-38 in his past 10 games, and Saturday was his first multi-hit effort since Sept. 17. On the season, he is hitting a lowly .198 but does have three home runs and 11 steals across 128 plate appearances with the Nationals.

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
May debut in 2024
Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com expects Crews to make his MLB debut in 2024.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 Draft and is the Nationals' top prospect. He made his way to the Double-A level in his first year of professional ball, though he struggled with a .570 OPS in 20 contests. However, Crews found little resistance in the lower levels of the minors and had a .355/.423/.645 slash line in 71 plate appearances at Single-A Fredericksburg. He isn't likely to be on Washington's Opening Day roster given his lack of experience, but a strong showing in spring training could set him up to make his debut over the summer.
