Dylan Crews Seeks Breakout After Inconsistent 2026 Season With Nationals

Washington Nationals outfielder Dylan Crews finished his 2026 campaign with a .223 average, 13 home runs, 44 RBI, and 12 stolen bases over 225 big league games across three seasons. Despite a Triple-A stint, flashes of patience in July, and September power surges, his struggles against right-handed pitching leave his 2027 starting role uncertain. The front office views him as a key piece, but decisions loom regarding everyday at-bats, a platoon role, or a potential offseason trade.
