But Chicago White Sox 2020 first-round pick Garrett Crochet still is getting the opportunity to become acclimated to pro ball.
The left-handed pitcher from the University of Tennessee is on the team’s taxi squad and working out at the Schaumburg training facility.
“I feel as each side (session) has passed, I’m getting more and more comfortable in the environment and with the coaching staff,” Crochet, 21, said Thursday during a conference call. “I’m trusting the little tidbits of information they are feeding me.
“I’ve been trying out a couple of new pitch grips. I definitely would say each bullpen (session) has progressed, but I’ve got a ways to go.
