If there was ever any doubt the case was officially closed: Dylan Crews is the best player in baseball.
Crews was named the 2023 Golden Spikes Award Winner, given annually to the best amateur baseball player in the country. The award was literally announced minutes before first pitch of Game Two of the championship series in a live presentation on ESPN.
