Chicago White Sox’s Garrett Crochet will become just the 9th pitcher in the last 110 years to make his 1st career start on opening day.
White Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet celebrates after striking out the Yankees’ Luke Voit to end the sixth inning at Guaranteed Rate Field on Aug. 14, 2021. General manager Chris Getz admired the conviction Garrett Crochet displayed in his attempt to join the Chicago White Sox starting rotation.
Crochet, 24, has made 72 appearances in big-league games, each as a reliever. After missing 2022 while recovering from Tommy John surgery and being limited to 13 outings last season, he eagerly awaits this opportunity.. “He has been through a rough couple years coming back. The most impressive thing was people worried about his command, he told me where it was last year and how it’s been this spring is a huge step forward for him.
The left-hander had 10 relief outings in 1980. That day in April was just the start of what turned out to be “Fernandomania.”“As the game progressed he got stronger,” catcher Mike Scioscia said in 1981. “From the seventh through the ninth, he had awesome command of everything.Astros manager Bill Virdon said in the same: “He may be 20 , but he pitches 30.”
“I’m just extremely excited for the opportunity,” Scheppers said at the time. “Let’s get this season started and get things rolling in the right direction.”
