Garrett Crochet Has High Praise For Payton Tolle originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Boston Red Sox have relied on left-hander Payton Tolle amid some injuries to the rotation, and he’s had plenty of success.
Tolle has been dominant since being recalled and Red Sox’s ace Garrett Crochet is pleased with how he’s looked. Crochet believes Tolle is an elite competitor, but at this point, Boston is expecting him to be an impact pitcher.
“Obviously, just an elite competitor, but has grown a lot in terms of his arsenal and the entirety of it, and just the ability to pitch,” Crochet said. “You see him Saturday night on a night where it looks like he's kind of grinding, and not really his best self, and then you look at the line at the end of the game, and you're like, that's a pretty good day for grinding.
"I don't want to put too much on him, but I mean, we expect that of him now. He’s a big guy and carries himself with confidence. I think that he welcomes that.”
Tolle has had plenty of success this season, as he’s coming off another solid outing on Saturday against the Atlanta Braves, as he went eight innings, allowing two runs on four hits.
This season, Tolle is 2-2 with a 2.05 ERA in five starts this season, and will remain a key part of Boston’s rotation.
