2025 Player Outlook
A fractured index finger derailed the start of Mitchell’s 2024 campaign, and it impacted his power upon his return. Across his first 137 plate appearances, he hit just .242 with a .358 SLG and 25 percent hard hit rate. Over his final 87 plate appearances, he hit .276 with a .645 SLG, and 35.3 percent hard hit rate. In his first extended look of big-league action, he hit eight home runs and stole 11 bases, and the hope is that his power numbers from last year aren’t an outlier, as they are a bit different from his time in the minors. The speed is legit (95th percentile sprint speed in 2024), and he slots in as Milwaukee’s everyday center fielder. He may not be a prototypical cleanup hitter in terms of pure raw power, but he’s no stranger to taking a walk, and he may be coming into his own in terms of power. He should join the 10/20 club this season at the very least, but his ceiling could be something like 15/25 or maybe even 20/25. He’s routinely taken outside of the top 50 outfielders, which seems like quite the misprice.
Player News
Brewers placed OF Garrett Mitchell on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain.
Mitchell is still striking out over 30 percent of the time this season, and has yet to leave the yard through 25 games, hitting just .208 with three steals during that span. The 26-year-old center fielder heads to the shelf after making an early exit from Friday’s series opener against the Cardinals with left oblique tightness. No word yet on how much time he’s going to miss, but fantasy managers should expect a multi-week absence, even if it’s a low-grade strain.
Garrett Mitchell was pulled from Friday evening’s game against the Cardinals in the fourth inning due to left oblique tightness.
It’s unclear when exactly he sustained the injury or the severity of it. Given how tricky oblique injuries usually are though, it wouldn’t be surprising at all to see Mitchell ultimately land on the injured list for at least a couple of weeks. Stay tuned, as the Brewers should have an update on his status after the game.
Garrett Mitchell singled, walked, stole a pair of bases and scored a run on Thursday as the Brewers dropped a heartbreaker to the Giants.
Mitchell used his wheels to manufacture a run in the second inning, as he worked Landen Roupp for a leadoff walk, stole second base, advanced to third on a ground ball and scampered home on a wild pitch. He also singled with two outs in the eighth inning and swiped second base but was left stranded there. On the season, the 26-year-old outfielder is hitting a disappointing .209/.289/.299 with zero homers, three RBI and three stolen bases.
Garrett Mitchell went 0-for-3 with a walk as the Brewers’ cleanup man Sunday against the Reds.
No luck for Mitchell today. He did strike out once, but his two balls in play were a 111-mph lineout right at TJ Friedl in center and a 108-mph groundout. He’s a respectable 6-for-23 at the plate, but he’s yet to make a fantasy impact with no homers, no steals and one RBI. One would think better days are on the way, but it hurts that the Brewers dropped him in the order just before Opening Day. While he hit fourth today with William Contreras resting, he’s batted seventh and eighth the rest of the time.
