Kyle Harrison: Brewers' Breakout Pitcher

0:00For the Milwaukee Brewers, it's March 12th, and here's what's going on. Baseball runs deep in Kyle Harrison's family. His grandfather, Skip Gwynn, pitched for the Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Like his grandpa, Harrison is a left-handed pitcher with a unique low-delivery slot that baffles hitters. In high school, he dominated with a 21 wins to one loss record and a 1.19 earn run average. That earned him a third-round pick by the San Francisco Giants in the 2020 draft. Harrison made his big league debut in 2023 and started 24 games the next year. He got sent down to the minors at the start of 2025 but came back up in May. Soon after, the Giants traded him to the Boston Red Sox in a deal for Rafael Devers. In Boston, things didn't stick around long. By February, the Red Sox flipped him to the Milwaukee Brewers for Caleb Durbin. The Brewers have a knack for unlocking pitcher's potential, no matter their style.

1:02Now, experts are buzzing about Harrison's upside. ESPN analyst Kylie McDaniel calls him a breakout candidate for Milwaukee. His fastball, sharp change-up, and sweeper give him three solid above-average pitches. Fans might eye Jacob Missier-Rowsky as the next star after his all-star run last year. But Harrison could be the real surprise on the Brewer staff this season. Keep an eye on him. This episode is brought to you in partnership with our sponsor. Some travel miles to find peace.
