[edit] Professional career
He won the Robert A. McNeece Award as the top professional prospect in the 2007 Cape Cod Baseball League season while playing for the Falmouth Commodores. Crow was selected by the Washington Nationals in the first round of the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft with the ninth overall selection. Negotiations stalled and Crow did not sign.[2] Crow signed with the Fort Worth Cats for the 2009 season.[3]
Crow was selected with the twelfth pick in the first round of the 2009 Major League Baseball Draft by the Kansas City Royals. Crow signed a contract with the Royals on September 15, 2009. To make room for Danny Duffy on the Double A Northwest Arkansas Naturals roster, Crow was demoted to High A Wilmington on July 31, 2010.
Crow made his first major league appearance on March 31, 2011, which was Opening Day. He faced four Angels batters, striking out three.[4]
On May 30, 2011, Royals manager Ned Yost announced that Crow had been promoted to the team's closer position on a temporary basis to replace the struggling Joakim Soria.[5] However, on June 6, Yost announced that Soria had earned the spot back.[6] Crow had no save opportunities in his brief stint as closer.
In 2011, Crow was selected to the All-Star Game.
