The Milwaukee Brewers have a fantastic pitching staff in 2026. Headlined by a rising star in Jacob Misiorowski, the future is bright for this National League Central squad.

But what if I were to tell you that the winningest pitcher in Major League Baseball currently resides in the Brewers' bullpen? He is not a starter, and this season has been a fantastic mark on his career. Aaron Ashby is a perfect 7-0 this season and has only pitched a total of 25 innings.

In those 25 innings, the left-hander has thrown a 2.16 ERA, 38 strikeouts, and has only allowed a total of six earned runs. He is another star pitcher out of the bullpen around the Major Leagues this year, as it seems like every single team has a solid ever to rely on in the big game moments.

Ashby is already at a 0.7 WAR, which is the highest of all the relievers. But it has not all been pretty, as there is one soft spot in his game. With a max exit velocity of 116.9 MPH, it is in the bottom 1% of all pictures in Baseball, according to Baseball Savant.
