Richard Fitts, a right-handed pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, recently faced a harsh reality check after a disastrous start against the Los Angeles Angels, where he allowed six runs in just one inning. Following this performance, he was optioned to Triple-A Worcester. Reflecting on his experience, Fitts acknowledged his previous overconfidence, realizing that even a decent run at the major league level can quickly turn sour. He had been effective earlier in his career with three runs or fewer in his first eight starts but struggled after returning from a right pectoral strain. In his initial Worcester outing post-option, Fitts showed some improvement despite allowing four runs in three innings, indicating his ongoing adjustment process. He remains focused on regaining his form and eventually returning to Boston.
