On Thursday, the Milwaukee Brewers promoted him to Double-A.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Patchogue-Medford grad and 2023 first-round pick is now a Biloxi Shucker. The Shuckers are Milwaukee\u2019s Double-A affiliate \u2014 two stops from The Show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knoth, the organization\u2019s No. 9 overall prospect and its third-ranked pitching prospect, joins a Biloxi roster that includes baseball\u2019s No. 1 overall prospect, Jesus Made.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was hardly a given that Knoth would get to Mississippi. The right-handed hurler blew out his elbow two years ago, mid-season with Single-A Carolina. In January 2025, he went under the knife for Tommy John surgery, torching his entire 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knoth rehabbed at the Brewers\u2019 spring training complex, working back through distance throwing, bullpens and live at-bats before returning to a game this May.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In June, he earned the organization\u2019s minor-league Pitcher of the Month award. This season with High-A Wisconsin, Knoth was 5-3 with a 4.34 ERA over 17 starts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following Knoth closely has been his varsity high school coach, Patchogue-Medford\u2019s Anthony Frascogna.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe\u2019s had a great season. He\u2019s overcome a minor setback and he\u2019s back ahead of schedule,\u201d said Frascogna, who texts and chats with his former player regularly. \u201cSo proud of him. Looking for flights to Biloxi!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Frascogna also anticipates taking a trip to Nashville in the near future. After all, the Nashville Sounds are the Triple-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers \u2013 and the likely next step in Knoth\u2019s progression.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the draft in June 2023, Knoth signed with Milwaukee for $2 million as a 17-year-old. At Pat-Med he tossed perfect games in back-to-back seasons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Top: Josh Knoth (courtesy photo)<\/p>\n<p>                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GLI_LOGO-FAVICON-NOBG.png\" alt=\"Your Long Island news, delivered.\" width=\"180\" height=\"60\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n                Your Long Island news, delivered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"description\">Subscribe to the GLI Newsletter \u2014 its free<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nineteen months ago, Josh Knoth couldn\u2019t throw a baseball.
