Brewers Add Logan Henderson, Chad Patrick To 40-Man Roster

By Mark Polishuk | November 19, 2024 at 10:45am CDT

The Brewers added right-handers Logan Henderson and Chad Patrick to their 40-man roster in advance of today’s Rule 5 deadline, MLB.com’s Adam McCalvy reports (X link).  Since Milwaukee has two more open spaces on the 40-man, McCalvy writes that more players could still be protected prior to 5pm CT.

Henderson was a fourth-round pick for the Brewers in the 2021 draft, though an elbow surgery kept him from making his pro debut until over a year after his draft date.  After pitching only 13 2/3 innings in 2022, Henderson tossed 78 2/3 frames at A-ball in 2023, then 81 1/3 innings across four different minor league levels this past season.  The overall numbers (3.32 ERA, 32.8% strikeout rate, 4.73% walk rate) were very impressive, though Henderson had a 4.56 ERA in 23 2/3 Triple-A innings and ran into some home run trouble.

Henderson’s signature pitch is a plus changeup that is so effective that it allows him to get away with a fastball that has movement but sits in the 88-92mph range.  This two-pitch arsenal could mean that Henderson will ultimately end up as a reliever, though obviously the Brewers will first give him plenty of looks to see if he can further develop as a starting pitcher.  Since the 22-year-old Henderson has already cracked the Triple-A level and could be close to his Major League debut, it stands to reason that he might’ve gotten a lot of attention from teams in the Rule 5 Draft.

MLB Pipeline ranks Henderson 11th among all Milwaukee prospects, while Baseball America ranks him 21st.  Patrick isn’t on either outlet’s top-30 list, though considering his solid amount (158 innings) of Triple-A experience, he also likely would’ve been on rival teams’ R5 radars.

Patrick was also a fourth-round pick in 2021, as the Diamondbacks took the right-hander nine spots before the Brewers selected Henderson.  Arizona dealt Patrick to the Athletics for Jace Peterson at the 2023 trade deadline, and the A’s then flipped Patrick to the Brewers almost exactly one year ago in the trade that sent Abraham Toro to Oakland.

After struggling badly in 2023, Patrick found his footing in his new organization, posting a 2.90 ERA, 26.1% strikeout rate, and seven percent walk rate across 136 1/3 innings with Triple-A Nashville.  While a .267 BABIP and 79.2% strand rate helped Patrick’s cause, he started 24 of his 26 games and delivered quality bottom-line results, thus earning his first 40-man placement.  Since the Brewers frequently churn pitchers up and down from the minors, the 26-year-old Patrick also could get a look for his MLB debut next season.

    Hopefully 1b Ernesto and that pitcher I believe Smith is the last name grab the last two spots. I don’t want to lose either of those two .

      EMJ was technically a free agent for a bit before resigning this offseason. If another team wanted him, they just would’ve given him a major league deal then, and not have to carry him on the 26 man all year.

    I’m surprised they added Patrick. His surface numbers were awesome this year, but they were desperate for pitching at times this year, and never gave him a shot. They even rolled Dallas Keuchel’s carcass out rather than let him play.

      Patrick kind of came out of nowhere in 2024, but given what the Brewers got out of Tobias Myers, surely another team would have grabbed an arm that put up those kind of numbers at AAA in 24. I think the Brewers wanted to see what he could do over a full season at AAA and he responded. I’d be willing to bet he makes multiple starts for the Brewers in 2025

        I’d be really happy with him being an acceptable long man they call up when needed. 3 years of a shuttle arm with some length is a good return on Toro

    Brewers also signed former Yankees top prospect Deivi Garcia to a minor league deal.
