Garrett Crochet Experiencing Mechanical Issues
4 months agoChicago White Sox All-Star left-hander Garrett Crochet said he's been experiencing a mechanical issue for the last three or four weeks and cited it as the cause of his struggles on Friday night in his outing against the visiting Chicago Cubs. Crochet said he's tried to convince himself it was something else each time out but has now identified it as "a simple fix." The 25-year-old southpaw allowed seven runs on nine hits (four home runs) in just 2 1/3 innings in the loss to the Cubs on Friday, although he generated 15 swinging strikes. The White Sox were eventually planning on limiting Crochet's innings down the stretch because of the fact he hadn't thrown over 54 1/3 innings at the big-league level in a single season before this year. The elevated workload could finally be taking its toll, as Crochet hasn't gone beyond four innings in a start since June 30, a span six outings.
