The Milwaukee Brewers have a fantastic pitching staff in 2026. Headlined by a rising star in Jacob Misiorowski , the future is bright for this National League Central squad.
But what if I were to tell you that the winningest pitcher in Major League Baseball currently resides in the Brewers' bullpen? He is not a starter, and this season has been a fantastic mark on his career. Aaron Ashby is a perfect 7-0 this season and has only pitched a total of 25 innings.
In those 25 innings, the left-hander has thrown a 2.16 ERA, 38 strikeouts, and has only allowed a total of six earned runs. He is another star pitcher out of the bullpen around the Major Leagues this year, as it seems like every single team has a solid ever to rely on in the big game moments.
Ashby is already at a 0.7 WAR, which is the highest of all the relievers. But it has not all been pretty, as there is one soft spot in his game. With a max exit velocity of 116.9 MPH, it is in the bottom 1% of all pictures in Baseball, according to Baseball Savant .
The Brewers are in a very tough division, and they are smack-dab in the middle of it at 4.5 games back. Ashby is going to have to continue his dominating start if they want any chance of keeping up with the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds .
Can Ashby finish the season with a perfect record?
