LSU's Dylan Crews and Paul Skenes make waves in MLB draft
The Washington Nationals surprised many by selecting LSU outfielder Dylan Crews with the second pick in the MLB draft, following the Pittsburgh Pirates' selection of Crews' LSU teammate, right-hander Paul Skenes, as the first overall pick. Crews, who won the Golden Spikes Award as the nation's best amateur player, is known for his power, hitting ability, and defensive skills. The Nationals hope that Crews can have a similar impact to previous high draft picks like Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg. The team also added third baseman Yohandy Morales with their second-round pick.
