Garrett Crochet famously made his MLB debut in the 2020 postseason while pitching for the Chicago White Sox. Coming out of the University of Tennessee, the left-handed Crochet was polished and nasty enough to slot into a playoff team's bullpen immediately. Obviously when a team selects a pitcher 11th overall, they expect him to develop as a starter eventually...and Crochet definitely developed into a front-of-the-rotation starter while with the ChiSox. Well, the Angels had their chance to get their version of Crochet with the second overall selection in the 2025 MLB Draft. However, they went with Tyler Bremner instead because he throws a good changeup.
