Washington’s front office staff was obviously thrilled to get Dylan Crews with the No. 2 pick in this year’s first-year player draft, and his success in three years at LSU made Crews a big-name, close-to-major-league-ready get for the Nationals in their latest draft class.
Special Assistant to the GM Kris Kline, (then VP and Director of Scouting Ops for the club), was equally excited about the Nats’ second round pick, recently-turned 22-year-old third baseman Yohandy Morales, who was selected out of the University of Miami with the 40th overall pick.
