How much do you care about Spring Training stats? That will determine how concerned Boston Red Sox fans are about Garrett Crochet's spring. Something weird has happened over the last month or so -- Crochet has stopped striking hitters out.
He threw 14. 2 spring innings and struck out just eight hitters. Small sample size, for sure, but that works out to 4.
9 strikeouts per nine innings, compared to his 11. 6 strikeouts per nine rate for his MLB career. Crochet also allowed 12 runs in those 14.
