Garrett Crochet has shown tremendous promise since joining the Boston Red Sox, achieving a remarkable 1.98 ERA and 78 strikeouts over 68.1 innings. His performance places him among an elite group of pitchers who've maintained such statistics in their initial outings. The Red Sox traded valuable prospects to acquire Crochet from the White Sox, highlighting his potential value. Following the acquisition, Crochet secured a six-year, $170 million extension, affirming the organization’s commitment to him. His earlier performance with the White Sox also showcased his capabilities, making him a vital part of the Red Sox's future pitching strategy.
Crochet has a 1.98 ERA and 78 strikeouts through his first 68.1 innings with the Red Sox, making him one of eight pitchers in MLB history to post an ERA below 2.00 while averaging six-plus innings and seven-plus strikeouts in their first 11 outings with a team.
The Red Sox acquired Crochet in December in a trade that sent four prospects to the White Sox, including catcher Kyle Teel and outfielder Braden Montgomery, among top prospects.
