Scouting Report: Andrew Mitchell
Milwaukee Brewers | RP
Overall
Summary
Garrett Mitchell, 27-year-old Milwaukee Brewers center fielder, was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to illness but returned to the starting lineup by Saturday. Mitchell has struggled significantly in 2026, hitting .219 (21-for-96) with 1 HR, 21 RBI, 5 SB in 32 games through early May. After a hot start (.273/.437/.436 in first 20 games), he has experienced a dramatic cold spell with a .424 OPS over the next 15 games. Most concerning is his May performance (.129/.176/.161) with a 41.2% strikeout rate and only 2 walks in 34 plate appearances. Mitchell exhibits a 37.5% whiff rate (6th worst in MLB) and struggles significantly against high fastballs. Despite elite exit velocities and a patient approach with walks, his inability to make consistent contact has severely limited his production. He remains rostered in only 10% of Yahoo leagues.
Strengths
- Elite exit velocities when making contact
