Crow seems destined to be a Statcast darling, thanks to the extreme spin rates on his sweeper, which is typically north of 3,000 rpm. The 25-year-old performed admirably in his major-league debut on Friday, allowing two runs over 5 1/3 innings against the Marlins. He struck out four and only issued one walk. He should get a more look at some point later this season but might make sense out of the bullpen for Milwaukee considering their starting pitching depth.

Crow was solid in his MLB debut, allowing just five total baserunners on the evening and two runs. Crow retired eight of the first nine batters he faced, and didn’t allow his first run until the fourth inning, when Owen Caissie drove in Otto Lopez on a sacrifice fly. Crow would be charged with one more run in the sixth inning, after he left with one out and a runner on second. That runner would come in to score via a two-run homer by Lopez, which cut the Brewers’ lead to 4-3. Two of the four hits Crow allowed went for extra bases, but he was in command of the strike zone all night, throwing 71.4 percent of his pitches for strikes while walking only one batter. If he sticks around to make another start, Crow would be on tap to face the Tigers on Thursday in Detroit.
