Career

Amateur career

Crowe attended Westview High School, and was selected by the Oakland Athletics in the 20th round of the 2002 Major League Baseball Draft. Crowe did not sign with the Athletics, instead enrolled at the University of Arizona, where he played college baseball for the Arizona Wildcats baseball team. Crowe was named the 2005 Pac-10 Conference Co-Player of the Year, with Jacoby Ellsbury.[citation needed]

An all-around athlete, Crowe was a competitive racquetball player in his teenage years and was one of the top players in the nation.[citation needed]

Professional career

The Cleveland Indians selected Crowe in the first round, with the 14th overall selection, in the 2005 Major League Baseball Draft.[citation needed] Crowe was named to the 2006 Carolina League All-Star game, but was unable to participate due to injury. He started the 2007 season as the Akron Aeros starting center fielder. After an unsuccessful experiment at second base beginning in late August 2006, Crowe was moved permanently back to the outfield, rotating between all three outfield positions.

After initially being optioned to the minors on March 28, 2009, Crowe was recalled at the end of Spring Training due to an injury to David Dellucci and was part of the Indians Opening Day roster.[1]

Crowe started as the right fielder for the Indians in his MLB debut on April 9, 2009 against the Texas Rangers at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Crowe went 0-for-5 including one strikeout.[citation needed]

Crowe was outrighted to the Triple-A Columbus Clippers on November 2, 2011. He was invited to the Indians 2012 spring training camp as a non-roster invitee on February 15, 2012. He was released by Cleveland on July 16. He is currently represented by Scott Leventhal and All Bases Covered Sports Management. Crowe was signed by the Los Angeles Angels on July 17, 2012, and was assigned to Salt Lake Bees.[citation needed]

Crowe joined the Houston Astros before the 2013 season. He was outrighted off the roster on October 17, 2013. He signed a minor league deal with the Detroit Tigers in January 2014.[citation needed]
