What should we expect from Freddy Peralta this season?
Jeff Hanisch-USA TODAY SportsFreddy Peralta is a good pitcher. He’s been a regular major league starter for three years, and he’s been at least solidly above average in all three them. He won’t turn 28 until June and should be just entering his prime. But there has also never been more pressure on Peralta. From 2021-23, he was able to slot in as perhaps the league’s best No. 3 starter on a staff that also featured Corbin Burnes and Brandon Woodruff. Burnes is gone. Woodruff probably won’t pitch this year. On a staff that also features 37-year-old Wade Miley and a bunch of question marks, Peralta is unquestionably the Brewers’ ace going into 2024.
