WASHINGTON – Nationals No. 1 prospect Dylan Crews was moved up to the leadoff spot on Wednesday night to face Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodón.

The result: Crews belted his first Major League home run two pitches into his at-bat.

In a 1-0 count, Crews -- MLB's No. 3 prospect -- made contact on a 93.3 mph fastball and drove it into the visitors’ bullpen at Nationals Park, a Statcast-estimated 399 feet to left-center field at 105.4 mph. It tracked as a home run in all 30 Major League ballparks.

Crews’ 41-degree launch angle tied CJ Abrams on May 27 at Truist Park for the Nationals’ highest launch angle on a homer this season.

Crews, who made his Major League debut on Monday, entered the game batting .286 with an .804 OPS. He already had two hits, one double, one stolen base and one run scored.

Crews got the start at the top of the order when Abrams got the day off against a southpaw starter.

“I would really like him to hit up at the top because he does take pitches, he understands the strike zone but yet he’s aggressive,” manager Dave Martinez said pregame. “I know that he can walk, so I would love to hit him up at the top. But against some tough righties, I feel like he might be better suited in the bottom for now until we can get him going a little bit.”
