In 2025, it was Sal Frelick\u2019s turn, as he went from 2.1 WAR in 2024 to 3.0 WAR, also finding a bit of a power stroke as he slugged 12 homers in 142 games after just five homers in his first 202 games. Honorable mention to Quinn Priester, who found his sweet spot with Milwaukee, totaling 2.9 WAR with a 3.32 ERA and 4.01 FIP over 29 appearances after totaling -1.0 WAR over his first two seasons (21 appearances).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">That leaves the question: Who will we see take a step forward for Milwaukee in 2026? There are plenty of candidates, so I\u2019ll leave this as open-ended as possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Weigh in in the comments, and join us throughout the month as we keep these conversations rolling into spring training.
