Chicago White Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet was solid despite a 5-3 loss to the Royals on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
The southpaw tossed five innings of two-run ball, surrendering three hits, including a homer, and no walks against five strikeouts on the day. He was in line for the win before the White Sox bullpen blew a 3-2 lead in the seventh inning. He sports an even 2.00 ERA through two starts on the season.
In a tightly contested battle against the Braves, Garrett Crochet delivered an outstanding performance.
Fantasy Impact
Over 7 innings, Crochet limited a potent Atlanta lineup to just 3 hits and a single earned run while walking only one and striking out 8. This outing not only contributed to a narrow 3-2 victory for the White Sox but also showcased Crochet's ability to dominate deep into games, a quality that's been evident early this season. With a sparkling 1.38 ERA, a minuscule 0.69 WHIP, and an eye-popping 11.1 K/9 rate through his first two appearances, Crochet is quickly emerging as a breakout performer in 2024.
The White Sox have named Garrett Crochet as their Opening Day starter.
Fantasy Impact
Crochet is a converted reliever and will make his first major league start on Opening Day. The 24-year-old has allowed seven hits and recorded 12 strikeouts across nine innings this spring.
White Sox GM Chris Getz said Garrett Crochet could open the season in the starting rotation.
Fantasy Impact
It was announced that Crochet was going to be stretched out as a starter this offseason. "I anticipate him being on our major league club, but I don't want to close the door on what's best for Garrett Crochet," Getz said.
Garrett Crochet will prepare to be a part of the White Sox rotation this year.
Fantasy Impact
Crochet has logged all 73 of his MLB innings over the last few years as a reliever, but, according to White Sox GM Chris Getz, the team is "going in with the intention of him to be a starter in 2024." Crochet was the 11th overall selection of the 2020 MLB Draft, but he has yet to make a professional start in the minors or majors since then. The towering lefty missed all of 2022 due to Tommy John surgery, and he worked just 25 innings total in 2023.
