LSU OUTFIELDER DYLAN CREWS WINS GOLD GLOVE AWARD

BATON ROUGE, La. – LSU junior centerfielder Dylan Crews has been named one of three outfielders on the 2023 American Baseball Coaches Association Gold Glove team for NCAA Division I.

Crews is the fifth LSU player to receive a Gold Glove award. Centerfielder Zach Watson was a Gold Glove honoree in both 2018 and 2019; shortstop Alex Bregman and centerfielder Andrew Stevenson were 2015 Gold Glove winners; and catcher Micah Gibbs was named to the 2009 Gold Glove team.

Crews is joined in the 2023 Gold Glove outfield by Enrique Bradfield Jr. of Vanderbilt and Ethan O’Donnell of Virginia.

Crews, a product of Longwood, Fla., finished the season with a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage, committing no errors in 171 chances. He led LSU to the 2023 College World Series title and captured the Golden Spikes Award, batting .426 (110-for-258) with 16 doubles, two triples, 18 homers, 70 RBI and 100 runs.

He is projected to be one of the first overall selections in Sunday’s Major League Baseball Draft.

The ABCA Gold Glove Awards are selected by ABCA coaches committees at each level: NCAA Divisions I, II and III, NAIA, NJCAA Divisions I, II and III, Pacific Association Division, and High School.

The Gold Glove winners have been selected since 2007 in the collegiate and high school ranks, featuring many future Major League Baseball players.

I thought the same thing and then I saw where the guy from Samford that won it for 1B had 0 errors in 444 tries.

Maybe he did, but it's hard to believe the Samford made some of the plays Tre did.

My first thought also - never seen it played better - at any level. My first impression of him was in an early season game where the throw to first was way off to the left field side and he ran back and dived toward the stands to glove the ball and while still sliding turned and threw a dart to 2nd base to nail the hitter trying to advance on the 'wild throw.'

I still can not believe my eyes on that play.

then came the play in the CWS - not as difficult, but 1000s times more important.

He's the best.
