Since arriving in Milwaukee on January 18th, 2018, Christian Yelich has exceeded just about anyone’s wildest dreams.
It has been the perfect storm of making an adjustment in launch angle to capitalize on moving to a new ballpark. A modern day player development success story, the Brewers helped Yelich ascend from an already star-caliber outfielder to arguably the top player in the National League during his two seasons with the Cream City Nine. The results have been undeniable — back-to-back batting titles, consecutive seasons leading the Senior Circuit in OPS, a Most Valuable Player award in 2018 and nearly another one in 2019, had it not been for a freak knee injury that cost Yelich the final three weeks of the regular season.
