He’s left-handed pitcher Garrett Crochet of the Chicago White Sox. Crochet is 26 years old and under contract for the next two years. While he’s not guaranteed to move this offseason, he’s as available as any player under contract has ever been.
Is he any good?
Crochet struck out 35.1% of the batters he faced while walking just 5.5% of them. He’s 6’6”, 245 pounds, and left-handed. His fastball averages 97 MPH while touching 100 at times.
Seriously, his fastball is incredible. Its movement profile is pedestrian but it doesn’t matter. At 97 MPH with over seven feet of extension, hitters don’t stand a chance.
