It was time for some people to step up their game starting on the mound, and Zach Davies definitely proved to the Milwaukee Brewers that he is capable of doing that.
The Brewers went into the 2019 season with Jhoulys Chacin as the opening day starter and then Corbin Burnes, Freddy Peralta, and Brandon Woodruff would follow. It was a debate between Zach Davies and Chase Anderson for that fifth spot in the rotation. Davies’s 2018 season wasn’t one that could be considered ‘fantastic’, and wanted to show that 2019 Zach Davies was a completely different pitcher from 2018 Zach Davies.
