Career[]

Crews attended Lake Mary High School in Lake Mary, Florida.[1] During his amateur career, he played for USA Baseball twice, once on their 14U team and once on their 18U team that won a gold medal.[2] As a junior in 2019, he batted .389 with 15 stolen bases.[3] That summer, he played in the Under Armour All-America Baseball Game at Wrigley Field.[4] Although his senior season in 2020 was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he was considered a top prospect for the 2020 Major League Baseball draft.[5] However, he withdrew his name a week before, announcing he would fulfill his commitment to play college baseball at Louisiana State University.[6][7][8]

Crews immediately became LSU's starting right fielder as a freshman in 2021.[9] He started 63 games during the season, batting .362 with 18 home runs, 42 RBIs, 16 doubles, and 12 stolen bases.[10] His 18 home runs were the most ever by a LSU freshman, surpassing Mike Fontenot's previous record of 17.[11] He earned All-American honors and was named National Freshman of the Year by Perfect Game.[12][13] He was named to the USA Baseball National Collegiate Team after the season.[14] He also briefly played for the Sanford River Rats of the Florida Collegiate Summer League.[15] In 2022, Crews shifted over to center field.[16] He was named the co-Southeastern Conference Baseball Player of the Year alongside Sonny DiChiara.[17] He finished the season having played in 62 games with a .349/.463/.691 slash line with 22 home runs and 72 RBIs.[18] Following the season's end, he was invited and returned to play with USA Baseball.[19]
