Milwaukee Brewers: 3 Bright spots from tough 2020 season
By Kenny Jilek
The Milwaukee Brewers have been tough to watch at times this season, but there have been a few guys who have put together great season when others have struggled.
Despite the Milwaukee Brewers’ hitting woes and many players not living up to expectations this season, including Adrian Houser, Christian Yelich, Keston Hiura, Justin Smoak, and more, they find themselves right in the thick of the playoff race. This is mainly due to the efforts of a few guys who have played well above what anyone thought they would have this season and have carried this team.
As it stands right now, the Brewers are one below the .500 mark and really need to win the next two games against Cincinnati Reds if they want to stay in the race. They’ll need to get contributions from everyone, but especially from the guys that have been so good all season so far.
Daniel Vogelbach has been an absolute shot in the arm for this offense, hitting .417 so far with the Crew, including three home runs in eleven games. He’s not one of these three players who have been bright spots, because he hasn’t been here all year, and you can read all about his success in a Brewer uniform here.
Now, the three guys that have been on their game all season for the Milwaukee Brewers have been Jedd Gyorko, Corbin Burnes, and Devin Williams. Naturally, only one is a hitter, and there are two pitchers.
