The Nationals failed to sign the University of Missouri hurler which means that he will re-enter the draft in 2009 and will likely be a top-5 pick. Crow was arguably the best college pitching prospect in the draft last season after compiling a perfect 13-0 record with a 2.34 ERA and 127 K's in 107 IP. Crow flashes three dominant pitches including a 93-96 MPH fastball with good late movement, a hard and heavy slider that touches 87 MPH, and a fading changeup that has the makings of an out pitch down the road. Crow is incredibly poised and competitive on the mound, attacking hitters by changing speeds and locations effectively. Additionally, his lean and strong frame should allow for him to build good stamina to be a frontline pitcher in a big league rotation. There is a minor mechanical glitch in his delivery that limits his ability to extend through his pitches, but a moderate amount of refinement should help him to overcome this. All told, Crow is an elite pitching prospect and could rise up to the #2 or #3 spot of next June's draft.
2009 Projection: The biggest thing to watch with Crow, of course, is where he will end up after the '09 draft. Regardless of where he is, he is the prototypical fast track player. Well polished, good poise and control of his stuff, Crow should move quickly through whichever team's farm system he ends up in.
