Red Sox Ace Crochet Unleashed as Pitch Limits Lifted Amid Dominant Stretch
6 Aug
Summary
- Red Sox manager lifts innings limit on ace Garrett Crochet
- Crochet has surpassed career-high innings, now leading MLB
- Crochet 9-0 in last 11 starts, Red Sox riding his dominant form
As the Boston Red Sox continue their impressive run, the team has made a significant decision regarding their ace pitcher Garrett Crochet. According to manager Alex Cora, the Red Sox have officially lifted Crochet's innings limit, allowing the 26-year-old lefty to pitch without restrictions moving forward.
Crochet, who has been a revelation for the Red Sox this season, has already surpassed his career-high innings total of 146, set last year with the Chicago White Sox. Now leading the majors with 148 1/3 innings pitched, Crochet has shown no signs of slowing down, and the Red Sox are prepared to put their faith in him as he enters uncharted territory.
The decision to remove Crochet's innings limit comes after a brilliant start against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday, where he threw seven innings with two earned runs and eight strikeouts. Cora noted that the team had discussed this plan before the All-Star break, and they are now ready to let Crochet "go" and contribute to the Red Sox's continued success.
Crochet's recent dominance has been a key factor in the Red Sox's hot streak. The ace is 9-0 in his last 11 starts, with the only loss coming in a game where he threw seven scoreless innings. His ability to consistently deliver quality outings has made him an invaluable asset for the Red Sox, who are now poised to ride his form as they push for a playoff spot.
