  Crowell has been a full-time reliever for Florida State since joining the program in 2021, but he’s also been one of the team’s most effective and consistent pitchers in that time. After a solid freshman campaign, Crowell was one of the best relievers in the ACC in 2022, and was off to more of the same in 2023 with a 0.87 ERA through 20.2 innings and a 38.8% strikeout rate. Crowell managed those results despite losing three full ticks of fastball velocity, and eventually missed the season with Tommy John surgery. A small and lean lefthander with a 6-foot, 169-pound frame, Crowell pitches with a simple delivery and whippy fast arm that fires to the plate from a three-quarter slot. He works off a two-pitch mix and typically pitched in the 93-94 mph range and got into the upper 90s, though in 2023 before his surgery he averaged 90 mph and touched 93. It’s more of a sinker than a riding fastball up in the zone, and Crowell uses his mid-80s slider as his go-to swing-and-miss offering. It’s a high-spin pitch in the 2,600 rpm range that he uses almost half the time, with whiff rates around 50% in the last two seasons. Crowell has thrown a slower curveball around 80 mph with more depth, which still blends into his slider shape and might simply be him manipulating the slider in the first place, as well as a mid-80s changeup—though the two are rarely used.
