Brewers series preview: The small market pitching factory

The Brewers were once known as an offensive team - “Harvey’s Wallbangers” won a pennant in 1982 by leading the league in runs scored. But recently they have become known as one of the best organizations at developing young pitching, finishing sixth or better in the National League in ERA in six of the last seven seasons. This year they have the third-best ERA, despite only signing one pitcher to a MLB free agent deal (Wade Miley, who signed a one-year, $3.5 million deal).

The Brew Crew reached the post-season every year from 2018 to 2021, but failed to reach the World Series and just missed the playoffs in the last week of the season in 2022, finishing with 86 wins.
