LSU's Paul Skenes became the first player to win the Men’s College World Series, be named the MCWS MVP and be drafted first overall in the same year after the Pirates took him with the first pick.
The question was which of the top two prospects – right-handed pitcher Paul Skenes and outfielder Dylan Crews, fresh offlast month – on scouts' boards would go No. 1.
Crews did not have to wait long to hear his name called, as the Washington Nationals selected him with the second pick, and LSU became the first school to haveLast season, Crews batted .426 with a 1.280 on-base-plus-slugging percentage. The Longwood, Florida, native slugged 58 homers over his three-year career and was the 2023 Golden Spikes Award winner, given to the best player in college baseball.
"You’re getting one of the most amazing human beings on the planet when you talk about leader, character, elevating the level of everyone else around him," LSU head coach Jay Johnson told USA TODAY Sports last week."He was really the unquestioned leader of our team, and that’s special, given that he was here for only 10 months."
