"Crochet was something of a late-bloomer in high school, initially committing to play college baseball at a nearby junior college before adding 6-7 MPH on his fastball as a senior and drawing interest from some of the biggest programs in the South."
"Unfortunately, Crochet struggled, was bumped back to the bullpen a few weeks later, and finished the year with an ERA over 5 (though he did show his potential with 62 strikeouts in 63.2 innings pitched)."
"Arm soreness combined with the COVID-19 pandemic wiped out all but 3.1 innings during his junior year, but by that point scouts had seen enough to know that he was a major talent and the White Sox selected him with the 11th overall pick in 2020 MLB draft."
