"How much more could Boston have asked out of Garrett Crochet in his inaugural season with the Red Sox? It goes beyond the way he anchored the top of the rotation from start to finish - emphasis on start to finish. Throwing over 200 innings for the first time in his big league career all while staying healthy is a feat in and of itself."
"The long ball can be an issue for Crochet. Granted, most of these home runs were solo shots because he rarely allows anyone on base, but even taking out that four-homer blowup against the Guardians, he gave up a home run in almost every outing in August-one allowed in four straight to end the month-as well as two against the Yankees and two against the Rays in September bouts, though he earned wins in both of those games."
Garrett Crochet anchored the Red Sox rotation from start to finish in 2025, throwing over 200 innings and staying healthy for the first time in his big league career. Crochet earned Opening Day duties, All-Star recognition, and led MLB in strikeouts with 250+, joining five franchise pitchers to reach that mark. The season featured a Cy Young-caliber run, though long balls were a recurring weakness, including a four-homer game and a stretch of August outings with homers allowed. Crochet often thrived in tight games and delivered dominant performances, including an emphatic outing against the Yankees in the Bronx.
