GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Indians pitchers and catchers went through their first official workout Friday at the team's spring-training site.

There are 30 pitchers in camp and about half threw bullpen sessions. The sessions lasted eight minutes, covering 35 to 40 pitches. Pitchers could throw all their pitches.

Lefty Kyle Crockett worked through his bullpen session. Last year the rookie was a pleasant addition to the bullpen. The fourth-round pick out of the University of Virginia in 2013 made it to the big time in a hurry. Upon his arrival, he showed their was a reason for his rapid ascent.

Crockett went 4-1 with a 1.80 ERA in 43 appearances. He struck out 28, walked eight and allowed six earned runs in 30 appearances. He did a nice job against lefties, holding them to a .206 (13-for-63) batting average. Right-hander fared better, hitting .283 (13-for-46).

Crockett, the first MLB pick from the 2013 draft to make the big leagues, opened the season at Class AA Akron. He threw 15 2/3 scoreless innings in 15 appearances for the RubberDucks with six saves before being promoted to the Indians on May 16.

He made his big-league debut on the same day against Oakland, but was optioned to the minors, this time to Class AAA Columbus, on May 22.

Crockett appeared in six games in Columbus, posting a 1.04 ERA. The Indians recalled him on June 13 and he stayed the rest of the season.

With Crockett, the Indians featured three strong lefties in the bullpen along with Marc Rzepczynski and Nick Hagadone.
