Look man/woman projecting anything in the way of sports goes is nothing but a turkey shoot game at the carnival. The sight is off and barrell is bent. Give me clean "Look what I have done numbers and not projections" I just made a comment that I thought his walk rating was low. Remember if you old enough Kerry Wood and Mark Prior were HOF destined at one time.. all signs in MLB for now project Crochet to be a high control guy..check his stats vs projections. MLB history is full of wrong projections and right projections, so which is right?

Basing his control ratings off of the 128 innings he pitched where they were extremely mediocre makes way more sense than basing them off of the 9 innings where they were great.
Dude had a good run of not walking guys. I don't deny that at all. However, he didn't suddenly become the best control pitcher in the history of baseball. Anyone can look like a god in a small sample size. Get back to me when he shows he can do this over a whole season.
