Notre Dame signee P Caden Crowell snubbed by MLB Draft, ready to start his Irish career
Time to work.
Notre Dame baseball saw just two of its players getting drafted by an MLB team, pitcher Rory Fox and shortstop Estevan Moreno, but others had the potential to hear their names getting called.
One of them was Indiana pitcher Caden Crowell, as the 6-foot, 4-inch and 200-pound lefty thought that he might get picked, but ultimately didn't. The MLB's loss is the Irish's gain, as the top in-state pitcher and No. 159 overall prospect nationally according to will soon start his career in South Bend.
Crowell went to social media to share his excitement, and while not getting picked surely was bittersweet, he'll get to work on his craft over the next three years and be eligible to get picked once again. He was dominant this past season, with a 0.25 ERA and 97 strikeouts in just 55 innings. If he's able to replicate his senior season success with Notre Dame, there is do doubt that he'll be hearing his named called during the 2028 MLB Draft.
