Boston Red Sox
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Crochet's career trajectory has been anything but traditional as he made his MLB debut for the White Sox in 2020 without first playing in the minors, and he transitioned to the starting rotation in 2024 without having previously made a professional start. The left-hander was dominant despite being on the worst team in the history of MLB, and he finished the campaign with a 3.58 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 209:33 K:BB over 146 innings. Chicago elected not to trade him at the summer deadline and heavily monitored his workload across the final three months of the season, during which he never pitched more than four innings. He also labored in those final 14 starts with a 4.84 ERA, but those struggles aren't a major surprise given it was his first season as a professional starter. The Red Sox acquired Crochet for a package of prospects this winter, so he'll be pitching his home games in one of the most hitter-friendly parks in the game but should also get much better run support and defense than the White Sox gave him a year ago.

Excellent in no-decision
PBoston Red Sox
April 19, 2025
Crochet did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the White Sox, allowing four hits and two walks with seven strikeouts across six scoreless innings.
ANALYSIS
Crochet dominated his former team for a second straight outing, departing with a 3-0 lead that his bullpen immediately surrendered in the seventh inning. The southpaw generated 17 whiffs on 96 pitches and has now yielded just four total earned runs through his first five starts of 2025. He'll take a 1.13 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 35:10 K:BB across 32 innings into a home matchup with the Mariners next week.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
2021
Crochet missed all of 2022 following Tommy John surgery and was limited to just 25 apperances between the majors and minors last season due to a shoulder injury. When healthy, the lefty walked more batters (13) at the big league level last year than he struck out (12), but the sample was limited to only 12.2 innings. He ended the season healthy, but the Crochet's persistent injury woes have made it difficult for the White Sox to settle on his role. Recent reports indicate his workload will be monitored during spring training and Chicago will determine whether to stretch him out to start in 2024, or use him in relief. Fantasy managers have been willing to gamble on Crochet's upside for a few years now, but he has yet to realize his potential. If health prevails in 2024, Crochet could re-emerge on fantasy radars, but expect a high WHIP no matter what role he fills.
Crochet missed all of 2022 while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. The White Sox hope he'll return by mid-season. Before the surgery, the plan was for Crochet to follow Michael Kopech's example and begin the season as a multi-inning reliever before joining the rotation. The White Sox still envision Crochet as a starter, but there are no plans to work in that capacity in 2023. The hope is he builds up ample innings to make the full transition in the off-season. Still just 23-years-old, there is plenty of time for Crochet to make it as a starter, but with his arsenal, high-leverage relief work is a solid fallback. It's risky to trust Crochet in redraft leagues, but he could be a target to stash in keeper formats.
Crochet clearly has the talent to be an oft-utilized, high-leverage reliever, but the White Sox played it safe with the young hurler in 2021, limiting him to just 54.1 innings that typically came in middle relief. Chicago conserved his arm, particularly towards the end of last season, as the team still views him as a starter long-term. Crochet did spend one minimum-length stay on the IL due to a back strain and also dealt with a blister early in the season, but he remained healthy for the most part and was an important piece of the White Sox pen. The southpaw posted a solid 2.82 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 10.8 K/9 with three wins, 12 holds and promising Statcast metrics across the board. While Crochet showed promise across his limited sample last year, he opted for Tommy John surgery in April and will miss the entire 2022 season and a sizable portion of the 2023 campaign.
Crochet was impressive during the 2020 regular season, firing six scoreless frames in five relief appearances. He posted a 0.50 WHIP and struck out eight without walking a batter over that brief stretch. The young lefty did suffer a forearm injury in the postseason, but he's on track to enter the 2021 campaign with a clean bill of health. Crochet features an electric fastball that typically sits around triple digits, and he's working to develop both a slider (86.7 mph average) and changeup (92.5 mph average). He was used in a relief role a season ago, but the White Sox still view Crochet as a starter in the long term and may send him down to Triple-A Charlotte in 2021 to continue his development as a rotation piece.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Extension talks will be tabled
PBoston Red Sox
March 27, 2025
The Red Sox and Crochet are expected to table contract extension talks after failing to reach an agreement prior to Opening Day, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The two sides began negotiating in early January and had steady conversations since then, but there was a "sizable gap" between the two sides that didn't close, per Cotillo. Crochet does not want to negotiate during the regular season, and chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said the club will respect the pitcher's wishes. The left-hander is making $3.8 million in 2025 and will remain under team control in 2026.
