Crochet went 6-12 with a 3.58 ERA in his first year as a starter. However, the 25-year-old recorded a stellar 2.69 FIP (Fielding Independent Pitching) on a White Sox team that lost an MLB-record 121 games. Crochet’s 209 strikeouts ranked seventh in baseball, earning AL Comeback Player of the Year honors.
The Boston Red Sox have been without star third baseman Rafael Devers during spring training, but manager Alex Cora thinks he'll play soon.
