Crochet's Shutout: Red Sox Start Strong

Garrett Crochet delivered a standout performance on the mound for the opening day victory. During the offseason, Crochet added a splitter to his mix and tested it in spring training.

Crochet came into the season as one of baseball's top pitchers, finishing second in American league saw a young, voting behind Tariq Skubal. He posted an 18-in-5 record with a 2.59 earned run average and 255 strikeouts. In six shed-out innings, he allowed just three hits, pounding the zone with his fastball and mixing in the change-up. The new splitter remains a work in progress, but he got the job done. With Crochet leading the way, the Red Sox looked poised for another competitive year as they build on this shed-out start.
