Alex Bregman, DJ LeMahieu and Antoine Duplantis.
That is the “aura” that exudes LSU freshman outfielder Dylan Crews according to Tiger manager Paul Mainieri.
“Dylan is one of those kids that arrives at LSU and you know there’s something different about him,” Mainieri said. “You can coach him hard if you want to but there’s hardly ever a need to because the kid is so in love with the game. He has the Bregman qualities as far as his passion for the game. I tell him he has Bregman’s passion, but he’s got LeMahieu’s swing.”
The Bregman comp is particularly fitting for a player like Crews because both players would normally have gone straight to professional baseball after being a high draft choice.
