The Brewers Pitching Lab Must Be Stopped [Q2yrkMT3nuK]
How do the Brewers keep turning wild, mediocre, and washed-up pitchers into some of the best arms in baseball? Jacob Misiorowski, Kyle Harrison, Quinn Priester, and more. The list of reclamation projects and breakouts keeps growing. In this video, I dig into what actually makes the Brewers pitching lab different, from their internal model to their affinity for cutters and sinkers to the coaches who set them apart. The answer is complex, and that requires an investigation. ______________________________________________ Support me on Substack! ______________________________________________ In this breakdown: How the Brewers fixed Jacob Misiorowski's command, the slider-to-cutter change, the bridge breaking ball, and why they took a probabilistic approach to his role. Why the Brewers undid what the Red Sox did to Kyle Harrison, removing the cutter, leaning back into his four-seamer, and a movement-on-the-rubber adjustment. The blanket approach vs. individualization debate, and why the Brewers do both better than most. The Brewers' internal model (nicknamed 'the Keg'), their top-five cutter and sinker usage, and what it tells us about their philosophy. Why coaches like Chris Hook and Jim Henderson might matter more than any model. How payroll constraints forced the Brewers, Guardians, and Mariners to develop velocity efficiently. This video covers pitch design, command development, four-seam shape, cutters and sinkers, organizational pitching philosophy, and modern player development.
