Biographical Information

Pitcher Coleman Crow was drafted by the Los Angeles Angels in the 28th round of the 2019 amateur draft, coming out of a high school in Georgia. His first professional assignment came two years later, in 2021, with the Inland Empire 66ers of the Low-A West, the COVID-19 pandemic having intervened in between to wipe out the 2020 season. He had been sent to the AZL Angels after signing in 2019, but had been placed on the injured list almost immediately. With Inland Empire, he went 4-3, 4.19 in 13 games, then played in the Arizona Fall League after the season.

He had a breakout season in 2022, going 9-3, 4.85 in 24 games as a starter with the Rocket City Trash Pandas of the Southern League. He was named the circuit's Pitcher of the Week three different times and its Pitcher of the Month in June. He logged 128 innings and struck out exactly as many batters. He was back with the same team at the start of 2023 and had a great first outing in the first game of a doubleheader against the Chattanooga Lookouts on April 8th, pitching six hitless innings in which he only walked two batters. He then turned over the game to top prospect Ben Joyce, the hardest thrower in college baseball history, with a 3-0 lead, but things then completely fell apart as Joyce and fellow reliever Eric Torres managed to surrender seven runs without giving up a single hit: a total of five walks and five hit batsmen did the trick, combined with a costly, base-clearing error by CF Jeremiah Jackson. The three pitchers were still credited with a combined no-hitter in the unlikely 7-5 loss, although Crow had nothing to be ashamed of - quite the contrary. He was 2-0, 1.80 in 4 starts, having lost time to an injury when on June 23rd he was traded to the New York Mets alongside fellow prospect Landon Marceaux in return for veteran infielder Eduardo Escobar.

Crow never got to pitch in the Mets' organization, as shortly after the trade, in August of 2023, he underwent Tommy John surgery. On December 20th was traded again, this time to the Milwaukee Brewers in return for two major leaguers, pitcher Adrian Houser and outfielder Tyrone Taylor. He was expected to miss all of 2024 as well.
