Four Notable Takeaways From Brewers’ Early-Season Start

The Brewers and Red Sox came together on a trade around Quinn Priester in 2025 and followed up with a deal around Kyle Harrison before the 2026 season. Harrison has responded with a 2.41 ERA in his first seven starts in a Brewers jersey. The Brewers have fleeced Boston twice in a row. If Milwaukee calls about a starter, Boston should simply try to develop and promote them to the majors itself at this point because the Brewers clearly know what they are doing.

Jackson Chourio Looks Great

Jackson Chourio has played only four games so far this season but he looks like the superstar everyone knows he can be. He's slashing .444/.474/.611 with a 1.085 OPS, three doubles, and three RBIs in four games. Let's not forget that Chourio is 22 years old. If he has taken another step forward, the Brewers are going to be just fine this season. He is a budding superstar.

Brice Turang Has Taken Another Step

Milwaukee has a next man up approach and it's how the club has been able to navigate trading a handful of stars over the years and all of the injuries the club has faced. The Brewers' offense lost Chourio, Vaughn and Yelich this season and yet they have been able to stay afloat. That's thanks in large part to the play of Brice Turang. He is slashing .291/.420/.488 with a .909 OPS, five homers, 22 RBIs, eight stolen bases, and eight doubles, while also playing elite defense. Turang already was very good. Now, he looks like the best second baseman in baseball.

Jacob Misiorowski Has The Most Potential Of Any Starter In Recent Brewers History

Jacob Misiorowski has a 2.45 ERA in eight starts in what is going to be his first full-time season in the majors. In Misiorowski's last start on Friday night, he logged the seven fastest pitches by a starter in Major League Baseball in the pitch-tracking era, dating back to 2008. The Brewers have had talented pitchers over the years, like Brandon Woodruff, Freddy Peralta and Corbin Burnes, among many others. Misiorowski has the potential to be significantly better than all three.
