    Scouting Report

    The Brewers' 13th-round selection in last year's draft, Wichrowski received a lot of attention this spring, when he showed up throwing in the upper 90s and reportedly reaching 101 MPH on his fastball. Drafted out of Bryant University, Wichrowski had been sitting in the low 90s in college, despite splitting time between starting and relieving.

    Starting all 21 games he appeared in this season, Wichrowski’s average velocity of 94.6 MPH wasn’t as high as what he had shown in spring, but it was still a jump of 3.4 MPH over his average fastball in 2023 at Bryant. According to Baseball America, that 3.4 MPH jump was the second-largest increase in average four-seam fastball velocity among all minor-league pitchers. Beyond the velo, Wichrowski seems to have the three-fastball combination that the Brewers love, at times cutting the ball, other times running it, to go along with his more standard four-seam fastball shape.

    The best pitch in Wichrowski’s repertoire is his low- to mid-80s sweeper. He most often uses it against right-handed hitters as a put-away pitch, though he’s shown an ability to land it for strikes as well. He does this against righties especially, but also against lefties at times. Wichrowski also throws a shorter, harder slider, and he appears to be more comfortable using that version against lefties than the sweeper. He rounds his repertoire out with a changeup in the mid- to upper 80s that is a work in progress, but it made strides throughout the season.

    The Brewers are likely thrilled with the progress Wichrowski made in 2024. For him to make another big leap in 2025, though, he will need to show a better ability to generate swings and misses. His stuff is too good for his whiff rate and strikeout rate to be 40th and 28th percentile, respectively, like they were this season. Improvement in his command could help him put hitters away more consistently, and it would help him to limit the walks a bit more. 

    Wichrowski seems like a strong candidate to begin in Biloxi next season, and a 2026 ETA seems most realistic. However, if his command does make big strides, he could work his way into the conversation as early as next season.
