Garrett Crochet

[Volsbaseballfan1]

I think this deserves its own thread. Crochet called up to the big leagues in just a few months after the draft. A huge day for Garrett and the Vols Baseball program. The staff can point to his development at UT in recruiting battles. Congratulations to Garrett!

That's really exciting.

It sux what we didn't get to experience this year as Vol fans.

Killer! Great video.

 

[GOBO-Baseball02]

And a lefty to boot! Pray for good health, the dude can deliver!

 

[BruinVol]

Great for the vols and the stuff was electric.

sucks the arm issues he had Early spring cost him some serious $

Better news for him and the White Sox is that the Sox have clinched a playoff birth. Might get him more experience.

"In what could either serve as a reward or a challenge for Renteria, and quickly pivot the focus from drinking in their accomplishment when there’s still a division to be won and a No. 1 seed to lock up, Hahn announced that 11th overall pick Garrett Crochet was being called up. While all the draft-day declarations about Crochet’s long-term future as a starter were reaffirmed, he is being called up to essentially earn a spot in the postseason bullpen over the final 10 days."

Said he recorded the 1st and 3rd fastest pitches this year by a lefty

 

[txbo]

I'm excited for him.

Would have been nice to watch those 101 mph fastballs coming from an orange uniform in Omaha.

 

[SmokyRiverDog]

That was impressive!

As a Sox fan I am extremely excited about this kid. He had a great debut last night.

 

[Volsfan236]

This kid is good!

 

[vol66]

Excited for him and his family, I mean if you could write a story about attaining the baseball dream, this wouldn’t be far off the mark! So happy for them!!!

 

[GVol1966]

Hit 102 2 or 3 times tonight

I watched his entire inning. I’m not sure he would have lost a game this year. They would have road that horse to Omaha

 

[ArdentVol]

we count holds in our league but maybe hell get shot to close since sox have made the playoffs
