Despite his solid outing, Crochet's efforts weren't enough to secure a win for the White Sox. This season, Crochet has been a bright spot in the rotation, boasting a 3.58 ERA and a stellar 12.9 K/9 ratio.

Despite his strong outing, Crochet didn't factor into the decision, a recurring theme in a season where his win-loss record doesn't reflect his underlying performance. With a 3.68 ERA and a stellar 12.9 K/9 rate, Crochet continues to be a high-strikeout asset in fantasy leagues, though his lack of run support and bullpen backing often undermines his potential for wins. His ability to limit baserunners, as evidenced by a 1.06 WHIP, and a high strikeout-to-walk ratio, should keep him relevant in all formats, especially for those in need of strikeouts and quality innings.
