Dylan Crews 2025 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: NL Rookie Of The Year Incoming?
Washington Nationals outfielder Dylan Crews put up solid numbers in Double-A and Triple-A in 2024, posting a combined slash of .270/.342/.451 with 13 home runs and 40 extra-base hits while stealing 25 bases. Sure, it was not a dominant showing, but Crews was good enough to earn a call-up to Washington, where he played his final 31 games. While he did not light the world on fire and blossom into a superstar in year one as many hoped, the underlying data still looks strong. Crews posted a 90th percentile exit velocity north of 106 mph and an average of around 90, both solid marks. From a contact standpoint, Crews posted above-average rates, 76 percent overall and 87 percent in-zone and both the contact and exit velocity data held into his MLB sample. Crews did show more chase, but some of his aggression and higher swing rates are good compared to what we see in college. Posting strong sprint speeds and being highly efficient on the base paths led Crews to steal 37 bases in 2024 while only being caught eight times. Being strong in the field also helps his well-rounded profile and allows Crews to be a lock to be in the Nationals lineup every day in 2025. He is a high upside pick at his current NFBC ADP of 136.75.
