It’s all about developing the secondary stuff with Crochet I think it’s more about commanding the fastball. He’s getting less swings on it this year because it’s slower and out of the zone. Seems he got more chases last year on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to top out at 98-99 and that's fine. Biggest thing for Crochet next spring is to find a changeup grip that actually gets it in the 87-89 range in games. Why is his high end velocity gone forever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just weird how he's basically a 1 inning reliever and sits around 95-97 most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I think it was a result of him being unusually fresh+adrenaline last year. He'd thrown so few innings.

That would make sense actually if they still see him as a starter. This might be where he's going to work. The other thing is that he was injured last year in the playoffs and this is just where he is post-injury. ' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GermanSoxFan Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I don’t know why, but whenever I see a guy named Wells throwing in a game, I am thinking of Casper Wells. That must have been quite traumatic for me ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
