Did Crews get robbed from getting the Collegiate Baseball National Player of the Year?

Can't go wrong with either or. Skenes just has been so consistent and dominant throughout the year.

I personally think Skenes edged him out as a full season. Where we would be without him is something I don't want to think about. Both had outstanding years, and cases can be made for both, but I think it's the right choice.

No. I also think you would be making the same argument if Crews won and Skenes didn’t. Both phenomenal. No wrong choice imo

Without Crews' massive slump he probably wins it

Nah. Crews has been in a mild slump for the past few weeks. Skenes probably just edged him out. That said, hopefully this takes some pressure off of Crews and he goes on a hot streak in the post season.

Hopefully Dylan uses this as motivation and starts to smash the cover off the ball

The struggles for Crews the last 3-4 weeks probably edged Skenes ahead of him. If Crews was able to keep his average closer to .450 he probably gets the player of the year. But I wouldn't say Crews was robbed, Skenes was very deserving of the award.

Crews was his own worst enemy setting the bar so high hitting so close to .500 for so long that the last month looks like a big disappointment with his "slump"
I say slump only because he did hit much worse than he did prior to the Auburn series, but from the Auburn series on he was 15 for 59 which is .254 at the plate which certainly isnt bad but when you hit basically near .500 previous to that, people will notice
I will say during that 14-game stretch he did only have 2 extra base hits (2 HR, no doubles or triples) which is the most shocking part honestly.
His last double was against Southeastern on May 2nd.

No he was extremely average the last month of the season. The award is over the entire season.

What Skenes did vs these juiced balls and the SEC strike zone is one of the better individual performances in recent memor
As great as crews was, he still has peers. Skenes doesn’t.

The SEC alone had lots of guys with great offensive numbers. His slump at the end hurt him.

I dont even know who this Skenes guy is but there is no way he is better than Crews or the guy who's been starting for us on Friday nights. That guy was a stud.

As great as Crews is, he ended up not leading the nation in any major individual stats. He was 2nd in on-base percentage and top 10 in several other categories.
Not only did Skenes lead the nation in multiple categories, but he also led by a wide margin.
Strikeouts 167 to 138 and 124 for 2nd and 3rd.
WHIP 0.79 to 0.87 and 0.90 for 2nd and 3rd.
Ks per 9 innings 16.64 to 14.34 and 13.70 for 2nd and 3rd.
Stats shouldn't always be the deciding factor, but in this case Skenes is so far ahead of everyone else that the award should be his.

Crews went cold at end of season. Costed him.

Seems like you answered your own question here.

Once they figured out he couldn’t hit a breaking ball he came back to earth. It’s ok I couldn’t hit them well eithe4.

No....Skenes more consistent at his craft
