(Chicago, IL) — The White Sox are bringing in another left-handed pitcher with their newest MLB Draft pick. The South Siders selected Garrett Crochet from the University of Tennessee with the 11th overall pick last night. The 20-year-old becomes the third southpaw taken by the Sox in the first round since 2010, with the last two being Carlos Rodon in 2014 and Chris Sale in 2010. Crochet’s 2020 season was hampered by shoulder soreness. As a freshman with the Volunteers, Crochet posted a 5.51 ERA in 17 games with 62 strikeouts over 63 and two-third-innings. He had a 4.02 ERA over 18 games as a sophomore.
