    Scouting Report

    Yoho moved quickly through the Brewers' system in 2024, reaching Triple-A in his first professional season after signing for just $10,000 as an eighth-round pick. He returned to Triple-A in 2025 and continued to dominate, posting a sub-1.00 ERA with a 31.7% strikeout rate while missing bats at an elite level. 

    At 26 years old and already on the 40-man roster, he is much closer to a finished product than most players in this range. His brief struggles at the major league level came in a very limited sample and did little to change the overall outlook.

    The standout pitch in Yoho's arsenal is his changeup, a true plus-plus offering and one of the most effective pitches in the minor leagues. It generates high swing-and-miss rates due to its significant movement and spin characteristics. Early in his Triple-A run in 2024, the pitch even got tagged as a left-handed curveball by Statcast because of its shape. 

    He complements the changeup with a low-to-mid 90s four-seam fastball that features heavy run and often resembles a two-seam profile. He also throws a sweeping breaking ball that underwent adjustments late in the season, tightening its movement while increasing velocity by several miles per hour. These changes aim to improve the pitch's command, above all else. Yoho will also mix in a cutter in the upper 80s, though it currently serves more as a secondary option within the arsenal.

    While his walk rates at Triple-A Nashville were manageable, major-league hitters showed an ability to stay off his pitches when they fell out of the strike zone. That ability to consistently locate his stuff remains the main hurdle preventing him from securing a long-term role at the big-league level. The recent adjustments to his breaking ball and continued refinement of his command will likely determine how quickly he establishes himself.

    Yoho's raw stuff is clearly major league caliber. With improved strike-throwing, he has the tools to develop into a leverage reliever for Milwaukee, potentially as soon as this season.
