In his first year with the Boston Red SoxGarrett Crochet has filled the role of Ace almost perfectly.
The Red Sox acquired Crochet In a trade with the White Sox that included sending Kyle Teel to Chicago sending the maximum capture. There were questions about how the left side would be with high expectations, but Crochet had an age of 2.34 at the start of Sunday against Washington’s nationals.
He has done everything that has been asked and has been a brilliant place for Boston this season. And it was worth being Named MVP of the first half by Bradford Doolittle of Espn.
“Crochet launched this well last season for White Sox, his first full season as a big league pitcher. But it was not a complete season because Chicago decreased his use before trying to get the maximum return.” Doolittle wrote. “The crochet trade for a valuable combination of perspectives was a leap of faith in Craig Breslow. Well, you can do a lot of things that have happened in Boston, but so far, crochet trade is not one of them.”
In his last start on Sunday, Crochet became the fourth Red Sox pitcher to register at least 150 attacks before the All-Star pause. He joined Roger Clemens (1988), Pedro Martinez (1999, 2001) and Chris Sale (2017, 2018 and 2019).
