Brewers Sign Kevin Herget To Minor League Deal

By Anthony Franco | March 1, 2024 at 6:17pm CDT

The Brewers recently signed right-hander Kevin Herget to a minor league contract. He’s in big league camp and made his spring debut yesterday, tossing a scoreless inning of relief with two strikeouts against Texas.

Herget became a minor league free agent at the start of last offseason. The 32-year-old had logged a career-high MLB workload with the Reds a season ago. He pitched in 14 games and tossed 24 1/3 innings of mostly low-leverage relief. He allowed 5.18 earned runs per nine with a well below-average 12.4% strikeout rate. Herget missed more bats at the Triple-A level, where he fanned 22.7% of opponents in 47 1/3 frames. His 5.13 ERA in the minors wasn’t far off his big league work, largely on account of an elevated home runs rate (1.52 HR/9).

A former 39th-round pick, Herget has spent a decade in professional baseball between five organizations. He first reached the majors two seasons back, making three appearances for the Rays. Herget has logged 31 1/3 innings of 5.74 ERA ball at the highest level. He owns a 4.25 mark over parts of six seasons at Triple-A.

Herget brings plenty of upper minors experience to Milwaukee camp. He’s likely to start the year as a long relief depth option at Triple-A Nashville. He still has a pair of minor league options remaining, so the Brewers could freely move him between the majors and Nashville if they add him to the 40-man roster at any point.

      Why say something snarky rather than nothing at all? Where are your career stats? Nowhere.

        I bounced around the minors for a while and did some scouting. You?

        You know what happens when you assume.

          And now just a bitter player instead of rooting for a guy who bounced around to have success you are throwing shade. I’m sure you were a great teammate.

          Your description about “bouncing around the minors” and “did some scouting” sounds like an embellishment of your attending minor league games and kept score. Not an assumption, Scout.

          On the contrary, got to work in the game a long time post-playing career and have friends everywhere. But what I do do is call it as I see it.

          But keep on with your Twitter rant, by all means. I’m sure you are enjoying yourself.

          I have no need to embellish anything, but thanks for playing. There are no parting gifts, lovely or otherwise.

          I think a reds fan should be allowed to take a shot a poor brewers signing without having to put up with personal insult. Just my opinion thou

          There were better options out there to replace Miley for sure !

          Adrian Houser would be a better choice.

          Yep

          You’re usually correct.

          What minor league league team?

          It’s a sad story really. They used to work as a scout and now they are just some person on a message board. Oh how the might have fallen!

          I also bounced around the minors and did some scouting.

        But he’s got a point. Not something I’d do necessarily, but it is kind of ironic that of all people, you should understand how hard it is to get to the big leagues and to stick. So yeah, I agree. Why throw shade? (and no, I’m not a relative of his).

    May not make it to the majors this season but then again the Brewers have been known to turn around pitchers better than most.

      I wish the Brewers could turn around pitchers they draft in first round. Jed Bradley, Taylor Jungmann, Kodi Mediros, Eric Arnett, Ethan Small. Every first round pitcher since the new stadium, was a bust, with possible exception of Jeffries, but they traded him and got him back.

        Who’s Jeffries? Or did you mean Jeffress?
        Don’t worry. Autocorrect has become my worst enema.
