WAY-TOO-EARLY 2023 MLB MOCK DRAFT

https://soxmachine.com/2022/12/way-too-early-2023-mlb-mock-draft/

1. Pittsburgh Pirates: Dylan Crews, OF, LSU

Crews projects as a middle-of-the-order force with a corner outfield profile possessing plus power and defense. He fits the window in Pittsburgh and is the early favorite for this spot.

1. Dylan Crews, OF, LSU

Dylan Crews has exceptionally high potential coming into this year's MLB Draft. Crews is a five-tool player who rarely strikes out and walks a ton. But of course, Crews also has major pop and an excellent arm for a corner outfield position.

A farm system shouldn’t have a significant impact on what position a team selects near the top of the draft. In the Pittsburgh Pirates’ case, the absence of a potential ace or a future All-Star outfielder shouldn’t dictate their decision. So, it comes down to BPA and preference.

Dylan Crews stats (2022): 22 home runs, .349/.463/.691, 1.153 OPS 

LSU Tigers outfielder Dylan Crews has dominated NCAA pitching in his first two seasons. Across 495 at-bats, he boasts 40 home runs with a 1.135 OPS and an impressive 100/81 K/BB ratio. The All-American outfielders bring above-average speed and high-end arm strength in right field, offering him the potential of a 30-homer player with Gold Glove-caliber defense in the corner.

1. Pittsburgh Pirates: Dylan Crews, OF, LSU 

He’s definitely top-five material. Crews was one of the leaders of the Tigers roster this past season, batting .349 with an OPS of 1.153, 22 homers and 72 RBIs in 62 games. He was also a top-tier high school prospect in 2020. Crews’ comps sit somewhere between Brady Clark, Grady Sizemore and Joc Pederson. I’ve even heard Mike Trout, but let’s slow down on that comp.

Nationals

Dylan Crews

OF

Louisiana State; Lake Mary HS (FL)

 The top player in the draft will not come cheap, but the Nats have never shied away from such scenarios, especially with the hope of obtaining a middle-of-the-order fixture for years to come.

1. Pittsburgh Pirates

Dylan Crews, Outfield, LSU 

The No. 1 pick, for our money, at this stage, comes down to Crews and Tennessee righty Chase Dollander. It really depends on your what your favorite flavored philosophy is. 

Dollander projects a top-of-the-rotation horse, though Crews has the potential to be a middle-of-the-order slugger with the potential to play a plus right field. In this case, we’re taking the 5-tool guy that can play every single day. Crews has the pedigree to move quickly through the Pirates system and could handle right field for the better part of a decade in Pittsburgh.

1. Oakland Athletics | Dylan Crews, OF, LSU 

Going chalk here with Oakland at the first pick. Crews is our consensus top prospect with an advanced offensive skill set and top-of-the-class exit velocities. It’s a rare blend of floor and ceiling that he brings to the table. He is every bit in the running for No. 1 overall at this point in the season and is deserving of such recognition. -Isaiah Burrows


12-1-22 - Six Tigers Named to D1 Baseball Top 100 College Prospects List for 2023 MLB Draft -

11-18-22 - 2022 Fall Report: LSU - https://d1baseball.com/fall-report/lsu-2022/  

First, the Tigers are led by none other than hard-hitting outfielder Dylan Crews, who has a strong case to be the top pick in the MLB draft come next June. Crews has such a big-league approach at the plate, and he made a massive statement in last week’s scrimmage with a laser beam home run to kick off the exhibition against the Cajuns. 

He’s such a special talent.

https://www.prospects1500.com/mlb-draft/2023-mlb-draft-top-50-college-prospects/  

1. Dylan Crews, OF, LSU – Crews has elite balance at the plate that allows him to stay on any offering and drive the ball even when fooled. The bat speed is also elite, while the bat is long through the zone meaning he is able to still barrel up the ball even when his timing is a bit off. When he makes proper contact, the ball absolutely flies and he flirts with plus power. He has average to better speed and is a solid defender. While a future in center field may not be his best fit, he can hold it down ok but has plenty of arm to play right.

2023 MLB DRAFT - TOP 200 PROSPECTS - 

2.  Dylan Crews

Outfield, LSU 

Crews burst onto the scene as a true freshman, crushing baseballs, earning All-American honors almost unanimously. He carried that over into an equally impressive sophomore campaign in 2022. Crews produces elite exit velocities and balances the raw power with a strong approach and feel for the strike zone. He doesn't strike out and draws a ton of walks as well, though the swing-and-miss can get streaky against better stuff. In the field, Crews is likely destined for right field where his plus throwing arm and above average speed will be valuable assets. Crews is as close to a 5-tool talent as you’ll find in this class and could move quickly through the minor leagues given his position and skillset with the bat. He’s got a way about impacting the game in every aspect of the game.

https://www.mlb.com/amp/news/top-college-prospects-for-2023-mlb-draft.html - 

Dylan Crews, OF, Louisiana State

A top prospect in high school until he took himself out of the 2020 Draft, Crews batted .349/.463/.691 as a sophomore, though his stock took a slight hit when he batted .158 with a 30 percent strikeout rate in a dozen games with the U.S. collegiate national team. He stands out most with his power and hitting ability, and he also has solid speed, a non-zero chance to stick in center field and the arm to profile in right.

Dylan Crews, Outfield, LSU 

The No. 1 pick, for our money, at this stage, comes down to Crews and Tennessee righty Chase Dollander. It really depends on your what your favorite flavored philosophy is. Dollander projects a top-of-the-rotation horse, though Crews has the potential to be a middle-of-the-order slugger with the potential to play a plus right field. In this case, we’re taking the 5-tool guy that can play every single day. Crews has the pedigree to move quickly through the Royals system and could handle right field for the better part of a decade in KC.

Crews figures to be the best college prospect in baseball. He has had an OPS of 1.135 in two seasons with the Tigers and can hit for average along with power. He's got a bright future.

1.  A’s:  Dylan Crews, OF, Louisiana State 

Crews was a solid high school prospect heading into the 2020 Draft but removed his name from consideration and headed to LSU. All he’s done is hit, with an OPS of 1.135 in two years with the Tigers. He’s going to mash, for average and plenty of power (22 homers in 2022), fitting the right-field offensive profile well.
