With an under-examined move on Saturday, the Milwaukee Brewers appear to have set their playoff rotation, with Jacob Misiorowski on the outside looking in. More 👇 brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/...

ICYMI: Andrew Vaughn has seen some of his power dissipate as opposing pitchers have changed their approach, but that's not to say he's lost his value. #brewers #milwaukee #thisismycrew

Aaron Ashby is filthy dude. Jeremy Maschino's dynamic dead zone model highlights why hitters can't barrel him up. Every pitch drops noticeably more than a hitter would expect from that release point (solid circles are the actual movement ranges, shadows are expected movement). Like a LOT more

Amidst yet another remarkable winning streak with some sparkling plays and clutch moments, I thought it's about time to question if this is a lucky stretch as some suggest, or if the #brewers are just an extraordinary team capable of winning it all 👇 brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/...

@rdtopp.bsky.social that's how Trevor Megill's fastball looks compared to the "dead zone"

Rumours are swirling about the #brewers heavily considering a Jacob Misiorowski extension. With the young phenom's dominant displays since exploding onto the big stage, just what might that contract look like? More @brewerfanatic.com 👇 brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/...

The #Brewers saved slot money on day one, and should be set for some flashy picks on day two. This is when they usually COOK (as does Ginger Poison, IYKYk) so it's essential to tune in. Join us for all draft related chat, analysis and coverage @brewerfanatic.com brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/...

Forecast for Saturday's @brewerfanatic.com event is looking good now! Get your tickets here.... brewerfanatic.com/store/produc...

So I have an idea for how the #Brewers manage their rotation in July: - Misiorowski gets an extended break post ASB - Cortes to return post ASB in his spot - Quintana traded at the deadline as Misiorowski builds back up after 15-20 days off Thoughts? brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/...

Christian Yelich's recent form has been something to behold, with six HR's in his last seven games. He's also, just maybe, giving us reason to believe he's unlocked himself once more a la his 2018/19 iteration. Here's why you should be optimistic👇 brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/...

The culmination of my recent dives, and perhaps the one I'm most proud of, I think I've found some diagnostics on both Christian Yelich and William Contreras, covering their struggles and why they're not as far away as you think... More @brewerfanatic.com 👇 enjoy! brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/...

Garrett Mitchell's swing changes are now tangibly measurable, so this weekend I dug into its effects on his high fastball problem and whether it's compromising his ability to punish breaking balls. Most importantly, can he have the best of both worlds? brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/...

Thought @jakemckibbin.bsky.social did a wonderful job tackling the enigma of Joey Ortiz’s catastrophic sophomore season, with lots of help from the new Statcast swing data. Up this morning @brewerfanatic.com: brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/...

The Brewers have the Orioles and Pirates this week..if they want to build any momentum to correct their season, now is the time

Clearly the Brewers see some big upside with Quinn Priester, but it's tough to envisage. I dug deep and when I compared his pitches to a certain giants ace he's perhaps not that far off. Is Logan Webb the template to unlock Quinn Priester? @brewerfanatic.com 👇 brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/...

I think the Brewers may be in a tough position. They focus on long term, controllable talent in their big trades, but with a wave of infielders coming from the farm in 2026+, does that prevent them addressing the SS/3B need in 2025? More 👇 brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/...

The 2025 iteration of the Milwaukee Brewers look daunted. They're relenting. Can they correct their course? And what are the ramifications if they can't? 👇 brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/...

Well that was a frustrating series for the Brewers, highlighted by all too regular defensive mishaps. Their middle infield hasn't performed as expected, so today @brewerfanatic.com I had a look into why that may be: brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/...

This was such a pleasure to write, and it truly is fantastic to see how far ahead of schedule Woodruff currently is. With public statcast data available I took a dive into his full arsenal after his first rehab start, covering what's left to work on and what's developed since spring

Disgusting #brewers

The Carolina Mudcats have been incredibly exciting to start the year, and three big name, big upside talents have hinted at massive, perhaps even quantum, leaps forward. Feat the electric Luis Peña, Braylon Payne and Josh Adamczewski brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/...

The question on everyone's lips.. did the Brewers overpay for Quinn Priester? Or can his unique deception provide success hitherto unseen by the 24 year old hurler? I dug into it all @brewerfanatic.com

This initially seems like a heck of an overpay, Yophery Rodriguez for a former top prospect, if a stalling one, in Quinn Priester (uncertainty if a Comp A draft pick is included). The sinker has some added break and velo early doors, and the new cutter looks good. The Brewers need to work magic

Caleb Durbin has hit the ball hard-ish so far in Nashville where even being 50th percentile is a big upgrade for him. Very small sample size, but the power output has been strong thus far carrying over from a good AFL showing

The Milwaukee Brewers Rotation Is Shunning Fast Fastballs: Is There An Organizational Problem With This Approach? ✏️ @jakemckibbin.bsky.social

It also seems like Jacob Misiorowski has found a pitch he can more consistently keep in the zone. The slider has become a more consistent shape, more cuttery and his control is better as a result. Small strides from the big man, but I do hope the quality of contact he's allowed is a SSS issue

A lot of Connor Thomas success last season was based on the sweeper as a primary offering. It's his one average stuff+ grade per @tjstats.ca however the Brewers/Contreras have almost cut its usage in half. The sinker/cutter combo are not strong enough for this type of pitch mix

The velo drop on everything Cortes throws is slightly concerning given his elbow issues at the end of 2024. Especially for someone who is so fastball heavy with the 4S/cutter. All while that arm angle got higher

Freddy Peralta’s back on the side of the rubber you’re probably used to seeing him work from this spring. Why he left in the first place, and why it was only a temporary shift.

Matt's back in Arizona. Brace yourselves

The Milwaukee Brewers fourth spring training game saw some more Statcast data on under-the-radar pitchers for the coming season, but the biggest story of the day was the metronomic hard contact from the team's fast-rising infield prospect. ✍️ @jakemckibbin.bsky.social #ThisIsMyCrew

The Milwaukee Brewers just played their first Statcast-tracked game this spring, giving us rare insight into some intriguing minor-leaguers. Who stood out from the crowd? ✍️ @jakemckibbin.bsky.social #ThisIsMyCrew

Brandon woodruff threw 92 as a point of reference. Both these guys are usually upper 90's (Ohtani more than Woodruff) but gives some basis for comparison early in camp

Tobias Myers's changeup is unique, which is always a scary and exciting word. Can he begin to adjust its usage to reach even greater heights for the Milwaukee Brewers in 2025? ✍️ @jakemckibbin.bsky.social #ThisIsMyCrew

🧵Oli Dunn skipped Triple A and had a rough start to the Major leagues. Shocker. If given time to adapt the talent is there for five tool upside. It's a volatile profile. The below graphic is over a mere 70 swings in Triple A but it does show some improvements in contact rate

I got caught out last year.. be wary of Freddy getting your hopes up in April only to crash in June

This is the type of thing that would get me oh so excited. There's half a chance the Brewers can chase down one of the top arms (in terms of raw stuff) from a loaded Dodgers rotation. Either option is a gamble, so what would you give up for either Dustin May or Bobby Miller?

If the #brewers can mildly improve Garcia's location, his stuff+ and tunnelling scores are strong enough that even a 45 grade command could be enough to find success as a starting pitcher. Look at the position of those dots at decision point vs where his arsenal finishes, just extreme separation.

Joey Ortiz had a major drop off when dealing with his neck injury in 2024, but was lurking around league average as far as "damage" goes for the rest of the season. That spike is what he can do if he learns to elevate the ball #brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers blew the Chicago Cubs out of the water in 2024, but perhaps the final tally didn’t signify the true gap between the rival sides. With most of the off-season complete, who's in pole position for the 2025 crown? @jakemckibbin.bsky.social discusses.

Ten biggest bat speed losers early (apr/may) vs late (aug/sep) 1) Luis Robert Jr. (-3.1 mph) 2) Joey Ortiz 3) Sal Frelick 4) Pete Crow-Armstrong 5) Jake McCarthy 6) Cody Bellinger 7) Max Kepler 8) Jake Meyers 9) Enrique Hernández 10) Rafael Devers (-1.4 mph)

Bo Bicheyte averaged 4.2 bWAR for three years from 2021-2023 from the left side of the infield, before last season was heavily affected by injuries. Should the #Brewers seek to buy low, and broach a trade for the half-fallen star? ✍️ @jakemckibbin.bsky.social brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/...

I always think these are simple, then end up with at least one conundrum. This year, that was Jacob Misiorowski.. have I missed anyone? Any wildcards you can think of? Get involved over @brewerfanatic.com

If the Brewers could instil even the slightest plate discipline in Sosa he could be one of the most consistent bats in their line-up. A RH foil to Turang at second base, excellent in zone contact rates, and solid power. If he can just stop giving up cheap outs on "B-swings" when chasing pitches

Curious what people think.. how much of Willy Adames' HR total in 2024 (32) can the Brewers get back internally should they luck into healthy full seasons from: Jackson Chourio (21) Christian Yelich (11) Garrett Mitchell (8)
