DURHAM, N.C. – LSU freshman outfielder Dylan Crews was named by USA Baseball Wednesday to the 2021 Golden Spikes Award midseason watch list. The award is given each season to the top amateur baseball player in the country, and the winner of the 43rd Golden Spikes Award will be announced in July.
The midseason watch list features 45 of the nation's top amateur players from the high school and college ranks and includes 34 athletes who have played their way onto the watch list since the preseason list was announced on February 18.
