Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Brandon Sproat, 25-year-old right-handed pitcher acquired by the Milwaukee Brewers in the Freddy Peralta trade, has shown significant promise despite early season inconsistency. Through his first 12 appearances (10 starts), Sproat posted a 5.75 ERA with 1.53 WHIP and earned his first MLB victory on May 13, 2026 against the San Diego Padres. He possesses six unique pitches with strong movement metrics and has demonstrated the ability to dominate opposing lineups when commanding his arsenal. However, he has struggled with consistency within individual starts, often pitching well early before hitting a wall in a single inning. His best outing came against the Cardinals on May 6, where he allowed just one hit over four scoreless innings with five strikeouts on 76 pitches. Sproat has shown improvement in recent starts and the Brewers organization views him as a key piece of their rotation moving forward.
