RARE TALENT

From the moment Louisiana State outfielder Dylan Crews’ name became known around college baseball, he has existed in rarefied air.

This summer, he’s one of the rare players spending a second campaign with USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team, something that only a few players each year can say.
