Track Record: The Angels selected Crow in the 28th round of the 2019 draft and signed him for an overslot for $317,500--equivalent to fifth-round money--to lure him from a Kennesaw State commitment. Crow didn't pitch after signing or during the coronavirus pandemic, but he impressed in his delayed pro debut at Low-A Inland Empire in 2021 and shined as one of the youngest players in the Arizona Fall League. The Angels challenged Crow with an aggressive assignment to Double-A Rocket City in 2022, where he pitched well early but tired down the stretch. He had a 2.82 ERA in his first 12 starts and a 7.08 ERA in his final 12 appearances.
Scouting Report: Crow is a slight, 6-foot righthander who is an excellent athlete and intense competitor. His fastball sits 91-93 mph and touches 95 with solid sinking action out of his low three-quarters arm slot.. He still has room to get stronger and add velocity as he matures. Crow's high-spin, low-80's slider is an above-average pitch he can vary the shape of and morph into a power curve as needed. He rounds out his arsenal with an above-average changeup that flashes plus with split action. Crow throws plenty of strikes but has fringe-average command.
The Future: Crow's size and command may limit him to a multi-inning reliever ,but the Angels are banking on his athleticism to help him remain a starter. He could see Triple-A in 2023.
Track Record: The Angels drafted Crow in the 28th round out of high school in 2019 but gave him a $317,500 signing bonus— fifth-round money—to buy him out of his Kennesaw State commitment. Crow did not pitch after being drafted and lost the 2020 season to the coronavirus pandemic, but he finally made his pro debut in 2021 and excelled at Low-A Inland Empire. He went to the Arizona Fall League after the season and posted a 1.38 ERA in five games as one of the league’s youngest players and earned a selection to the AFL Fall Stars Game.
Scouting Report: Though small in stature, Crow has a feisty mound demeanor and a penchant for battling through tough situations. His fastball sits 91-92 mph and touches 95 and he spins his slurvy, low-80s slider extremely well, generating 3,000 rpms on the pitch. He complements his two primary offerings with a low-80s changeup with split action and late run and is mixing in a two-seam fastball with tailing and sinking action. Crow has just fringy control, but he throws enough strikes in short bursts.
The Future: Crow could be a solid depth piece if he gains more fastball velocity and better commands his secondary pitches. A move to the bullpen could help his stuff tick up.
