Crochet Focuses on Red Sox Camp as World Baseball Classic Begins
Boston's ace left-hander opts out of international tournament, eyes Opening Day
Boston Red Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet is preparing for the 2026 season at spring training, setting his sights on Opening Day rather than the World Baseball Classic, according to available information.
The left-hander, who skipped the international tournament, appears focused on his workload and readiness heading into the regular season rather than chasing the international stage.
Crochet's decision to bypass the World Baseball Classic is notable given his profile as one of the game's rising starters. Details surrounding his spring progress, pitch counts, and development with Boston were not available from public records at this time.
The Red Sox report to Fort Myers for spring training, not the Treasure Coast, meaning this story does not directly involve a local team, venue, or Treasure Coast-area athlete.
