Garrett Crochet wanted to pitch for the Americans

The birth of his daughter is one of the reasons he is not at the World Baseball Classic.

Garrett Crochet says that he had plans in 2025 of being part of Team USA for the 2026 WBC but his decision came down to his family (newborn baby girl) and the Red Sox so he had to make the right decision and pass.
