BOSTON -- About six months ago, Kutter Crawford decided he should finally start trying to throw the pitch that sounds just like his first name, even if it's spelled differently.
Helped by having that new pitch in his arsenal, the right-hander displayed such dominance in his first year at Florida Gulf Coast University that he was drafted by the Red Sox in the 16th round of the MLB Draft (491st overall) on Wednesday.
A junior transfer to FGCU following two years at Indian River State College, the Okeechobee, Fla., native would have been thrilled to hear his name selected by any team.
