Red Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet made his spring debut on Sunday afternoon against the Blue Jays at JetBlue Park.

The southpaw went 1 2/3 innings, throwing 27 pitches, just south of the team-imposed 30-pitch limit. Crochet struck out three hitters and walked a batter in the first inning.

“Good first inning,” said Crochet. “It was the first time with fans. I feel like I was rushing a little bit. But even still, I feel like my stuff played really well. I threw a sweeper for a double, but I like the shape, so I’m really happy with that. And the cutter was good.”

Crochet worked around three hits in the second inning along with recording his fourth and final strikeout of his outing.

“It was nice getting out there, getting some real game action,” Crochet said on the NESN broadcast. “A lot to work on, but some good takeaways from today.”

The Red Sox have the radar gun on the Jumbotron turned off to begin the spring; it’s unclear how hard Crochet was throwing in his outing on Sunday. There was no doubt his fastball looked elite, and he showed glimpses of what he can become with his pitch-mix; he just needs to consistently stay in the strike zone.

“When you look at the splits in my career, 1-0 to 0-1, it’s a difference of like 20 percent walk rate and 20 percent strikeout rate. So, just getting to 0-1 is huge. It’s very simple, but it pays huge dividends,” Crochet said.

New infielder Alex Bregman went 3-for-3 in his spring debut and was able to watch Crochet’s performance from the hot corner on Sunday. The two-time World Series champion came away impressed by his new teammate.

“(He) looked great,” Bregman told reporters. “Punched out the side in the first. His stuff is electric. Just in facing him over the past few years, he’s been fun to watch and difficult to face. Glad I’m on his team.”

With Crochet’s first spring start in the books, he is going to look to build off the outing and continue to work on the goals set forth from his pitching coach Andrew Bailey, who would like to see him achieve.

“A lot of great stuff so far,” Crochet said of his relationship with Bailey since joining the organization. “I’d like to keep it behind the scenes, but it’s keeping it as simple as throwing first-pitch strikes. Really, just making sure I put myself in good counts. When looking at my splits in all of my years in the major leagues combined, the 0-1 vs. the 1-0 is very drastic. That’s really the main thing I’m trying to capitalize right now.”
