re: Dylan Crews is the best player that has ever come through LSU

His defense cost us the CWS in 2013.

I'll play along, his defense is what got us to the CWS. Works both ways.

I think when you look at all around: hitting, fielding, throwing, running: he is probably the best ever but needs a natty to go with it. Todd Walker got some big hits in the CWS that elevated him to that status. That may be the only thing missing. Crews will get his chance.

But every game he plays it gets harder and harder to deny that he very well may be the best in a program even this rich with history. He’s incredible at basically every aspect of the game.

I am usually the last one to put a tag like this on a player because there are so many factors that play into a players success at a sport. Team they play on, competition they face, talent surrounding them, etc, etc. But there is no denying it at this point. Crews not only has no weakness whatsoever but he excels at everything he does. I bet if they put him on the mound to get 3 outs at the end of a game he would do it. Yeah I am convinced he is the best to ever wear a play for LSU.

Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time

He made 17 errors that year. It wasn’t his defense as a freshman that got us there. He actually had a pretty bad stent mid season and that’s when the story came out about him sticking around after a game with the lights on to take extra grounders. Crews would never need to do something like that. There’s a chance he’s the best catcher on the team.

I also don't like to put that kind of label on one of our players. I feel so blessed to have seen so many great players over the years in the purple and gold.

What's undeniable is despite how good Crews was when he got on campus, yet he has dramatically improved from his freshman to sophomore year and from sophomore to junior year. For 2 consecutive years our best returning player is also either the most or one of the most improved players.
Another thing is that our other all time best hitters haven't been great defensively. Crews is so good in center he makes a hard hit ball looking like it is headed for the gap look like a routine fly ball

don't give a frick what LSU as a team did during his time here, he's the single best player this program has ever had.

I am now officially registered as on- board 100% above TW/JB, etc.. THE GOAT

Pistol...in my opinion.

Pistol is overrated. There. I said it.

I know. Wrong place to say it. But he is.
