We’re back with another daily question, and today, it’s all about the Quantum Leap.
In 2024, Brice Turang took a huge step forward, going from 1.5 bWAR in 2023 to 4.7 the following year (and then progressing to a team-best 5.6 WAR in 2025). In 2025, it was Sal Frelick’s turn, as he went from 2.1 WAR in 2024 to 3.0 WAR, also finding a bit of a power stroke as he slugged 12 homers in 142 games after just five homers in his first 202 games. Honorable mention to Quinn Priester, who found his sweet spot
with Milwaukee, totaling 2.9 WAR with a 3.32 ERA and 4.01 FIP over 29 appearances after totaling -1.0 WAR over his first two seasons (21 appearances).
That leaves the question: Who will we see take a step forward for Milwaukee in 2026? There are plenty of candidates, so I’ll leave this as open-ended as possible.
Weigh in in the comments, and join us throughout the month as we keep these conversations rolling into spring training. Have a question you’d like to ask in a future BCB Daily Question? Drop one in the comments and we may use it later this month.
