Now that Garrett Crochet is pitching for Charlotte for the first time in his career, we can get a look at the Statcast data he produced during his inaugural inning of Triple-A work against Durham on Tuesday.
The returns are encouraging: Crochet's fastball averaged 97.2 mph, topping out at 98.4 over the course of 10 four-seamers. He also threw seven sliders and a changeup.
As for Liam Hendriks, Jeff Cohen says that he's scheduled to throw back-to-back outings for the first time in his rehab stint on Wednesday and Thursday, so we'll also get a look at how his stuff holds up.

*Jeff asked about Davis Martin, who hasn't pitched since April 14, and Justin Jirschele didn't have any news, which might be news in and of itself.
