Ocean Springs alum/Chicago White Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet likely headed for Tommy John Surgery

Some bad news today for Ocean Springs alum Garrett Crochet who is likely to require Tommy John Surgery after an early exit to last night’s Cactus League game.

An MRI revealing ligament damage to his throwing arm which is expected to put an end to the lefty’s 2022 campaign before it ever got started.

A 2020 first round draft pick of the Chicago White Sox out of Tennessee, Crochet is more than a year removed from another injury scare that turned out to be a flexor strain.

The 22-year-old fireballer has a career 2.54 ERA with 73 strikeouts and a record of 3-5 across more than 60 innings at the MLB level.
