Not quite the upper third fastball thats been his kryptonite, but on the inner third and up... That is an absolute BOMB

17 years old with an aerial 105 mph EV is tasty, even if it is facing an 87 mph fastball
Does that mean the Brewers have none Curt?
Kyle Harrison was a top prospect for a reason. The Giants couldn't capitalize, but the Red Sox appeared to have fixed him before the Brewers pounced. Here's why Harrison could be a star in the Brewers org:

Are We Ready, Just One Last Time, To Dream On Garrett Mitchell?
He was getting on top of the high fastball. He adjusted his swing... is 2026 the season?

So why is no one talking about how incredible Brandon Woodruffs cutter became in 2025?

After the Brewers terminated their agreement with their bankrupt former rights-holder, their new plan was announced Monday. The league will take over the Crew's broadcasts for this season, with wide-ranging implications. #brewers #milwaukee #thisismycrew
Jett Williams is polarising scouts assessing his hit tool, but despite some concerns the problem may be more nuanced than a rigid swing... 👇

Brandon Sproat is a truly fascinating arm, and one key component of this trade is in how he developed from the first half to the second half of the Triple A season, and how that didn't necessarily manifest in the big leagues. More 👇

Freddy Peralta is a hot topic with a lot of swirling rumors. With the Brewers wanting a major league ready arm in return, who could headline the package coming back to the Brewers?

Jesus Made's has one small issue with his lower half that could unlock a hall of fame ceiling. What's the problem, and can he address it in 2026?

We've often assumed DL Hall losing an 80 grade fastball (per BA) is the issue behind his transition from high upside starter to swing man in the pen. However, what if its not the fastball that's the problem?

Real life can take away from my side hobby, but before the winter meetings I'm back with a look at the most potent bat the Brewers will enquire about, why he's a fit, and the steep cost in prospect capital

On a more fun note, Jake Bauers had an in zone contract rate of 91.2% in September, an 18.8% strikeout rate and his bat speed was the fifth highest jump in baseball (min 100 swings per season) from 2024 to 2025. With tangible changes, is he the incumbent 1B in 2026?

The upcoming CBA makes the current revenue sharing model a hot topic. I can see two financial loopholes and a lack of meritocracy that make the biggest dent in what could still be an effective system

I'm gonna talk so much crap
Brandon Woodruff is 99% certain to decline his mutual option, but the Brewers may be uniquely placed in negotiations to bring him back to Milwaukee on a longer deal that suits both parties thanks to QO rules👇

An early roster projection allows us to guesstimate the Brewers financial flexibility for 2026 to address some key weaknesses. I've dived into how much the Brewers may have to spend this season, and the factors surrounding how they use those funds:

It took all of a day for Freddy Peralta trade rumors to surface. I took some time to note why the Brewers have to be open to offers, and what considerations come into play regarding their ace this offseason 👇

A eulogy for the 2025 #Brewers: brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/...
Interestingly, the Brewers have been dominated by changeups in the NLCS, but they actually ranked 6th in xWOBA, and had the second lowest whiff rate in baseball against off speed pitches.
If they can lock into Glasgow tonight, who doesn't get much chase, they have a shot
The stuff is legit mind
The supreme overlord at Diamond centric and myself got together for a quick natter over yesterday's game and a big game two for the Crew today if anyone wants some pre-game listens 👀

If he wore a Yeovil Town jersey, how much respect would you give him?
I became a baseball fan in 2019. Thanks to my cousin, the Milwaukee Brewers are my team. Many have asked "why the Brewers"?. This is why. This organisation is special, and I'm halfway to a tear to finally see them win a playoff series. Two series from a WS Win.
Let's. Fucking. Go
Been loving the postgame livestreams on the @brewerfanatic.com YouTube channel, and @jakemckibbin.bsky.social and Jason Wang killed it on this preview of Game 5, too. Watch, enjoy, like, subscribe! www.youtube.com/live/yd_3-ID...
In light of the recent games at Wrigley field, it might not be easy to see but the Brewers have some small advantages besides home field advantage that could make all the difference in game five:

Chicago Cubs in the '25 postseason
WC game 1 - 13 K's
WC game 2 - 11 K's
WC game 3 - 11 K's
DS game 1 - 12 K's
DS game 2 - 11 K's
That's a 34.5% strikeout rate this postseason
The Brewers conversely have the highest xWoBA so far in an obviously giant sample size with a 16.7% strikeout rate
This is gonna be sooo tasty haha. So much in the way of bragging rights on the line
