Colton Gordon, a pitcher with raw ingredients, has piqued the interest of the Brewers. While his current performance in the majors has been less than stellar, with a 5.95 ERA and an 11.00 ERA in the minors, the Brewers see potential in him. Gordon's ability to fill the strike zone and his feel for the sweeper and curveball are notable strengths. However, his subpar velocity and inconsistent fastball shapes are areas of concern. The Brewers, known for their strategic approach to player development, may unlock Gordon's potential through mechanical adjustments and a focus on his sinker and cutter. This strategy aligns with their history of identifying and maximizing the potential of undervalued players. The deal that brought Gordon to the Brewers also included Lance McCullers Jr., a big-name player who will provide immediate help. However, the real value of the deal may lie in Gordon's potential to become a valuable asset for the Brewers in the future. The Brewers' approach to player development and their ability to identify and maximize potential make them a team to watch in the coming years.
