He's a good one, no doubt, but I still believe Babe Ruth was the best #9 hitter in history.

Considering these rosters r absolutely LOADED with future pro talent, it’s great to see Reggie in the 4 spot…

He just had an RBI single to bring in Jace Jung and watching the broadcast, they said he’s supposed to pitch today as well.

2021 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team Preview — Prospects Live

There’s plenty of big names from both the 2022 and 2023 draft classes on this roster that have grabbed our draft crew’s attention this past spring. It’s a loaded roster, with plenty of potential first rounders from both drafts repping the red, white, and blue. We’d be doing the public a disservice b

LHP/INF REGGIE CRAWFORD, UCONN (2022)​

Another two-way guy, Crawford is one of the more talented players in all of college baseball. He’s a big kid at 6’4”, 235 pounds and showed off impressive power with 13 home runs and slashing .295/.349/.543 in 210 at-bats. He’s limited to first base defensively and there’s swing and miss concerns, but he can use all fields at the plate. On the mound, he’s not made many appearances, with only six with UConn this spring. However, his fastball has topped out at 101 MPH and usually sits in the high-90’s with a solid slider to go alongside the heat. It’s a relatively easy operation and he will likely find himself in a potential closing role next spring. He’s the fourth player from UConn since 2015 to play on the team.

NC State's Avent Finds Solace With USA Baseball; Prospect Notes • D1Baseball

NC State's Elliott Avent lived his worst nightmare two weeks ago. Now, he's living a dream as we take an in-depth look at Team USA's early standouts.

-> Connecticut two-way talent Reggie Crawford is known more for his offensive prowess than anything he has accomplished on the mound, but the 6-foot-4, 235-pounder, might see things change sooner rather than later. Crawford only worked 7.1 innings for the Huskies this past spring but has shown electric stuff for Avent and Team USA so far this summer. He also has been impressive at the plate with an average north of .300. Avent was particularly impressed with an at bat he had against Miami reliever Carson Palmquist a few nights ago. Stuff-wise, Crawford has been 97-98 mph with his fastball and Avent said a couple of radar guns at the Cape Cod League had him at 100-101 a few days ago. He was impressive yet again Tuesday night. <-

UConn has had its last 5 closers selected in the MLB draft. Considering the amount of attention that Crawford has been getting from his pitching this summer, including the tweets and such from UConn baseball, it seems like Crawford could very well be used in the closer role for UConn next season. If so, he could very well extend the UConn closer draft streak to 6 in a row.

In the linked article it mentions Crawford getting an opportunity at longer outings. Not sure if that is speculation or inside information but I wonder if he could be in line for a starting spot next year.

Quite Frankly, I am OVERJOYED and a bit surprised that such a STUD actually made it to UCONN.

We've been a bit snake-bitten in that some AMAZSING recruits have committed to UCONN but never made it to Storrs due to being drafted highly by MLB.

Crawford will be a huge star next season and surely 1st round pick. This will continue to help HC Penders and Staff continue to bring awesome talent to our fine program.
