Garrett Crochet an Elite Starting Pitcher Option Heading into 2026
In his first season with the Boston Red Sox in 2025, left-handed pitcher Garrett Crochet emerged as one of the best pitchers in MLB. Across 205 1/3 innings (32 starts), the 26-year-old posted an 18-5 record with a 2.59 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and 255 strikeouts. Crochet struck out 31.3% of the batters he faced while walking hitters at just a 5.7% clip. He also showed the ability to handle a significant workload, jumping nearly 60 innings from his previous career high of 146 innings pitched in 2024. Fantasy managers could have some level of concern that the innings spike could increase Crochet's injury risk. However, he's healthy heading into 2026 and projects to lead a Boston team that should provide him with plenty of run support. Crochet profiles as a no-doubt fantasy SP1 and has a chance to be the number one overall pitcher in fantasy in 2026.
