Coming into the 2015 season, the Milwaukee Brewers expected Kyle Lohse to be an anchor within their starting rotation. After all, the veteran had been Milwaukee’s most consistent pitcher since signing a free agent contract before the 2013 season – 4.2 fWAR and a 3.45 ERA in 397.0 innings covering the two seasons proceeding this one. Other than his advanced age of 36 years old coming into the season, there was little to indicate that regression was coming from Lohse.
The fall of Kyle Lohse has therefore been swift and difficult to watch in 2015.
