Despite strong start to 2025, Garrett Crochet doesn't feel 'up to my own par'
Briefly

Garrett Crochet has made a remarkable start to the season for the Red Sox, posting a 1.13 ERA and ranking among the top pitchers in the league. Boston acquired him from the White Sox and secured a lengthy contract extension. Despite his outstanding performance, including a no-run, seven-strikeout outing, Crochet expresses dissatisfaction, believing he can improve. Manager Alex Cora reflects on Crochet’s performance, noting the right-hander's erratic moments but still appreciates his ability to give the team a chance to win.
"I feel like I'm getting away with murder and it's only a matter of time until I get caught," Crochet said postgame. "I feel like the way I'm throwing the ball isn't up to my par."
Cora shared that sentiment when assessing Crochet's most recent outing. "The stuff was good. Erratic. some deep counts, some two strike hits. But in a 'bad' night that he was OK - that's what we get."
