2025 Signature Event: Underclass Elite
Crane did well with the bat and behind the plate, but made waves on the mound with an immaculate inning in his first frame. He struck out his first five batters in his Underclass Combine outing, and while he will provide some versatility at the Underclass Elite, there will inarguably be a lot of eyes on him when he gets on the bump again.
