Garrett Crochet of the Boston Red Sox is ranked No. 7 among major league starting pitchers. He has a 2.26 ERA and leads the majors with 115 1/3 innings pitched and 144 strikeouts. Crochet ranks third in strikeouts for different pitch types including four-seam fastballs, sweepers, and cutters. He has achieved a career-high eight wins and is on track for bests in ERA and WAR. The last Red Sox pitcher to win the Cy Young Award was Rick Porcello in 2016.
"This is why Boston gave up a prospect haul to acquire Crochet from the White Sox over the offseason. One year after making a successful transition to the starting rotation in Chicago, the 6-foot-6 lefty with a 2.26 ERA now leads the Majors in innings (115 1/3) and strikeouts (144)."
"He ranks third in K's on each of three different pitch types: four-seam fastballs (57), sweepers (46) and cutters (31)."
"Based on that ranking, Crochet is running fifth in the American League among starting pitchers. The 26-year-old southpaw has already set a career high with eight wins and is on pace for personal bests in ERA and WAR."
"The last Red Sox pitcher to win the Cy Young Award was right-hander Rick Porcello in 2016."
