Former South Carolina star recognized as MLB team’s top minor league pitcher

The hardware continues to roll in for former South Carolina star pitcher Wil Crowe, who was named the Washington Nationals’ minor league co-pitcher of the year on Wednesday. He shared the award with an old SEC rival, Ben Braymer.

Crowe, who went 11–5 with a 3.40 ERA in 22 games in his second year of professional baseball, posted a perfect 11-0 record with the Nationals’ High-A affiliate, the Potomac Nationals, and was promoted to Double-A by the end of the season. He was also named the Carolina League Pitcher of the Year earlier this month for his performance in High-A.
