CHRIS SALE
#41 - PITCHER - BOSTON RED SOX
Red Sox News: Chris Sale to begin pitching from the mound soon Chris Sale inches closer to returning for the Boston Red Sox It's been a little while since we've heard any news in regards to the ace of th...
Nearing return to mound work Sale (elbow) is scheduled to throw off a mound in late January, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
Impact The veteran left-hander remains without an official timeline for his return, but a return to mound work represents a significant step in his recovery from Tommy John surgery. Sale underwent the procedure in March 2020 and figures to be sidelined for much of the first half of the 2021 campaign, but a more concrete timeline should come into focus and he ramps up his rehab work.

No timeline for return Sale remains without a clear timeline for his return from Tommy John surgery, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
Impact Sale underwent the procedure in late March. A typical recovery timeline would see him back on a big-league mound sometime in the middle of the 2021 season, though it's difficult to predict his exact return date with any precision. While manager Alex Cora declined to give a timeline for the lefty's return Tuesday, he did note that his recovery was coming along well.

Impact Sale still has several more checkpoints to meet in his recovery from the elbow procedure, but the first seven-plus months of his rehab program appears to have gone according to plan. The southpaw should be ready to throw off flat ground -- if not a mound -- by the end of spring training, but he'll still be ticketed for the 60-day injured list to begin the 2021 campaign.

The Next Chris Sale? Garrett Crochet fits the mold The White Sox draft pick even shaped his slider after Chris Sale.
JUNE 10, 2020 • NBC.COM
Drafted by White Sox The White Sox have selected Crochet with the 11th overall pick in the 2020 first-year player draft.
Impact The obvious high-end comp for Crochet is Chris Sale. He is a 6-foot-6, 218-pound southpaw who throws from a three-quarters arm slot with a big fastball, a big slider and a lot of relief risk. Remember, a lot of people didn't think Sale would make it as a starter, even after he reached the majors. Of course, just because he resembled Sale (visually more than statistically) while pitching for Tennessee doesn't mean that's a likely outcome. He gets great extension on his fastball, which has touched triple digits and could be the best fastball in the entire draft. His sweeping slider gives him a second plus pitch, while his changeup can look promising at times but lacks consistency. Crochet made just 13 starts in college, working primarily as a reliever during his first two seasons. His junior season was delayed due to shoulder soreness, but he struck out six while giving up two hits and zero walks in 3.1 innings in his lone 2020 outing, showing evaluators that he was healthy and his stuff was intact. His size, delivery and lack of track record point more toward the bullpen than the rotation, but his 8.3 percent walk rate in college wasn't terrible for a 6-foot-6 pitcher. A common refrain is that he could be a ninth-inning arm if he has to move to the bullpen, but obviously any amateur pitcher's floor is quite a bit lower than big-league closer.
