If there is one thing that the Milwaukee Brewers have done well under the David Stearns regime, it is develop pitchers. Since the current brain trust’s first year at the helm in 2016, Josh Hader and Brandon Woodruff have graduated into All-Stars. Corbin Burnes, Freddy Peralta, Brent Suter, and Adrian Houser have become MLB-caliber hurlers. Scrap-heap pickups like Junior Guerra and Jeremy Jeffress have advanced into multi-year roles with the Cream City Nine. The org has coaxed top-flight production out of forgotten veterans like Wade Miley and Gio Gonzalez.
And now, one of the next under-the-radar arms who could be in line to make a big league impact in the near future may very well be right-handed pitcher Johan Belisario.
