With the Nos. 14, 27 and 43 picks in the 2023 MLS SuperDraft, the Crew selected players they believe have high ceilings and intriguing upside.
and a slew of league awards, Crew assistant general manager Corey Wray led the draft process with a focus on upside.
Arfsten's selection rose eyebrows as many wondered how the Crew were able to draft a player who is already on a professional contract within the MLS structure. But because Arfsten signed with Earthquakes II after just two years of college, thus leaving college early, Wray explained that Arfsten was then eligible for this year's draft.
For Wray and the Crew's scouting staff, Arfsten's production at the professional level made him an obvious selection with the No. 14 pick. "An exciting player in terms of what he can bring as a center back," Wray said."Maybe you don’t want an exciting player as a center back, but that certainly suits the way the second team has played and could be an interesting option on the first team. We see some really big upside and year-over-year improvement in him."
