If he's going to be working at 96-97 as a starter 92-93 mph for the changeup isn't going to cut it. However, he does have a starter's arsenal. Greinke and Felix have had pretty nice careers with that kind of separation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had like 2 starts in college the season they drafted him due to COVID. His arm needs innings and this is apart of the buildup plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Nice hit by Vaughn. Renfroe probably saved that run from scoring on the hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 There have been some really hot takes on Crochet here. The guy is 21 and has barely pitched at the MLB level. If the Sox are working with him on control and velocity, there’s a reason. He needs to work on getting movement on his fastball and better use of his secondary pitches. Let’s not write his ass off yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are options I suppose, fillers and lifts and whatnot, but natty growth just doesn't happen much at his age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get him some vitamins and a Olympic rack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
