Brewers broadcaster Jeff Levering stops by The Crawfish Boxes to preview the weekend series versus Milwaukee.
Q: Christian Yelich was slowed in May with that groin strain. Last May when he last faced the Astros, he had some nice at bats against them. What kind of season is he having this year?
A: Yelich had a resurgent season in 2025, his most games played since 2022, and arguably his most productive since 2019. With no rehab assignment, and some lingering back issues, he has been somewhat slow to come back from the groin strain. However, he did homer in back to back games in his return. His presence strengthens the lineup.
Q: Do you think the NL Central is the toughest in all of baseball?
A: It has always been a competitive division, but every team got better this offseason. Two months into the season, it is the most balanced division in the league.
Q: What does Jake Bauers bring to the club?
A: Great intangibles and a steady approach to the game (and life). Finally healthy and given an opportunity to play most days, Bauers is thriving with the opportunity. He is solid at first, can play either corner outfield spot and has power to all fields at the plate.
Q: Kyle Harrison and Jacob Misiorowski have been equally impressive collecting K’s and wins. What have been their biggest improvements leading to their success this season?
A: Miz brings the heat, up to 104MPH, but his command has taken on a new life form this year. He’s not just a thrower anymore, he’s hitting spots with all of his pitches and maintains his velocity throughout the game.
For Harrison, he’s finally getting a shot. He’s always had the stuff, but moving to the first base side of the rubber has allowed his pitches to become weapons. (He’s added) Additional depth on the slurve, and the fastball sneaks up on the league’s best hitters.
Quite the 1-2 punch. And both leading MLB’s youngest pitching staff.
