Garrett Crochet has quickly entrenched himself as a clubhouse leader for the Boston Red Sox.<\/p>\n
After registering an MLB-high 251 strikeouts in the regular season, Crochet will start<\/a> Game 1 of the Wild Card Series against the New York Yankees on Tuesday night. The ace set a standard for the team before they left Boston.<\/p>\n Alex Cora told reporters Monday<\/a> that Crochet called an audible on the dress code for their trip to New York.<\/p>\n \u201cHe has such a big voice that he changed (the dress code),\u201d Cora said. \u201cWe were traveling \u2018comfortable\u2019 here, and he decided to go business casual. He sent the text out. He overruled the manager.\u201d<\/p>\n Cora said Crochet was in the clubhouse when getting news of the expected attire before requesting a different approach. His teammates complied.<\/p>\n Story continues below advertisement<\/p><\/div>\n \u201cHe told the guys, \u2018No, no, no. We got to make it a business trip.\u2019 So they dressed up yesterday,\u201d Cora said.<\/p>\n Crochet explained his rationale ahead of his first career playoff start. The 26-year-old pitched out of the Chicago White Sox bullpen during the 2020 and 2021 postseason.<\/p>\n \u201cThis could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for some guys on this team,\u201d Crochet said. \u201cSo I think that we should treat it with the dignity that it deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n Story continues below advertisement<\/p><\/div>\n Cora noticed Crochet develop into a leader at spring training, noting that the left-hander would spend hours reviewing a bullpen session that didn\u2019t meet his standards. The manager likened his presence to Alex Bregman.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was trying to connect to players in the beginning, but right away he knew what he wanted to do,\u201d Cora said of Crochet. \u201cSimilar to Alex. \u2018Hey, if we\u2019re gonna play in October, we have to help.\u2019 He\u2019s been great.\u201d<\/p>\n Crochet will look to lead the Red Sox to a Game 1 win on Tuesday, which starts at 6:08 p.m. ET on ESPN.<\/p>\n Story continues below advertisement<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Garrett Crochet has quickly entrenched himself as a clubhouse leader for the Boston Red Sox.
