Milwaukee Brewers’ Eric Lauer Establishes New Future With NL Central Team
Eric Lauer, a former Milwaukee Brewers pitcher, has waited longer than most to find a new home in free agency. The once-steady arm in the Brew Crews’ starting rotation underperformed in 2024 and was eventually relegated to the minors. He declined the assignment and became a free agent. He has now signed with a National League Central squad.
Eric Lauer has forged a fresh future with the Milwaukee Brewers’ division foe.
Per Ken Rosenthal Eric Lauer signed a minor league contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Spring training has already begun, but it is expected that he will be invited to the big league camp. Pittsburgh has holes at the back of their rotation, so he might make the big leagues at some point this season.
What happened to Eric Lauer in 2023?
Prior to the start of the 2023 season, Eric Lauer had been a reliable member of the Brewers rotation. After being traded from the San Diego Padres, he had a 3.19 ERA in 2021 and 3.69 in 2022. In 2023, he struggled with his mechanics and injuries, finishing with a 6.56 ERA in 46.2 innings pitched.
Can Eric Lauer rebound in 2024?
Eric Lauer, 28, will attempt to rebound in 2023. He has never been a high-velocity pitcher, but he has a cutter that generates poor contact when thrown to the right. Furthermore, while his fastball is a strong pitch for him, problems might occur when he is unable to locate his pitches.
Overall, Eric Lauer will be a name to watch in 2024. He has a track record of success and failure. The Pirates made a low-risk move, but if he performs well, it might pay off handsomely for the team.
