From Mississippi to the MLB: Garrett Crochet earns first All-Star nod
SUMMARY: Garrett Crochet, raised in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, is set to make his All-Star debut on July 16, 2024, in Arlington, Texas, representing the American League. The Chicago White Sox pitcher boasts a 6-6 record, a 3.08 ERA, and 146 strikeouts. Crochet, who declined the Milwaukee Brewers out of high school, excelled at the University of Tennessee. Drafted by the White Sox in 2020, he skipped the minors, becoming a key reliever before transitioning to a starter role. Despite the White Sox’s struggles, his performance, especially his league-leading strikeout rate, earned him the All-Star recognition. The game airs at 7 p.m. CT on FOX.
