Washington Nationals draft Gavin Dugas in 6th round
Dylan Crews won’t be going to Washington, D.C., alone. Gavin Dugas was selected by the Washington Nationals in the sixth round of the 2023 MLB draft.
Dugas played at LSU for five years and played in 201 games for the Tigers. He was the embodiment of what it means to be an LSU Tiger. When LSU needed a clutch play, Dugas always seemed to come through. He spent last season flipping between second base and shortstop but he may find himself in the outfield at the next level.
Dugas has a career batting average of .287 with 35 doubles, five triples, 44 homers, 148 RBI and a national championship trophy. Dugas becomes the sixth player from last year’s team to be selected in the 2023 MLB draft, joining Paul Skenes, Dylan Crews, Ty Floyd, Grant Taylor and Tre Morgan.

He will likely head to Single-A to start his career in the minors, possibly back on the same team as Crews unless they send Crews straight to Double-A.
