The prominence of the Brewers
As the Brewers have grown, so has their stature. Various media outlets have categorized them as one of the best teams in the league with the potential to go far.
Before being placed on the IL, rookie pitcher Jacob Misiorowski has made a name for himself. He is the first pitcher since 1900 to have wins than hits allowed in his first three starts.
At this point, he has a record of 4-1 with a 2.70 ERA and 47 strikeouts. His exploits garnered him a spot on the NL All-Star team.
Additionally, first baseman Andrew Vaughn has hit .370 since joining the team on June 13. Ubiquitous player Isaac Collins filled in due to injuries and has been productive at the plate and in the field.
He is batting .285 with 7 home runs, 37 RBIs, and 72 hits.
