After drafting Seth Romero in the first round, the Washington Nationals took another pitcher with their second round pick (65th overall) and went with right-hander Wil Crowe from South Carolina. Crowe was drafted last year in the 21st round by the Indians, but decided to go back to school for his senior year.
In the past, the Washington Nationals have taken pitchers that have had Tommy John surgery or were about to undergo the surgery. Crowe had to miss the 2016 season due to having the surgery in 2015 on the UCL in his right elbow.
