During spring training, I predicted that Garrett Crochet would be one of our starters, and a couple of our readers laughed at me.
What I didn’t predict, however, was that Crochet would start the first half of this season as one of Major League Baseball’s best starting pitchers. After tonight, Crochet is now second in baseball in strikeouts, and he’s now had 19 straight scoreless innings, stretched over three starts. In a historically bad season for the White Sox, Crochet has been a shining light, and a good reason to watch the worst team in baseball.
