During a Grapefruit League game against the Atlanta Braves, the Boston Red Sox faced former player Chris Sale. On the same day, the team announced Garrett Crochet would be their Opening Day starter for 2025, a role Sale held in 2018 and 2019. While both are left-handed pitchers with impressive stats, Crochet’s achievement in his debut season sets him apart from Sale, who didn’t start on Opening Day until his second year. This has fans hoping Crochet can mimic Sale's success, especially his World Series impact in 2018.
The Boston Red Sox named Garrett Crochet as their 2025 Opening Day starter, creating comparisons to former ace Chris Sale, who started previous seasons.
Sale's experience with the Red Sox is significant; he started in 2018 and 2019 but not in his first season, unlike Crochet.
Fans are optimistic that Crochet will replicate Sale’s success, who was a pivotal player in the Red Sox's 2018 World Series championship.
Crochet's debut as an Opening Day starter shows his rapid ascent in the Red Sox's pitching hierarchy compared to Sale's initial years.
