Brewers' 2025 draft pick continues remarkable journey with late-season promotion

Left-handed pitcher Frank Cairone, the Brewers' 68th overall pick in the 2025 draft, has been promoted to Low-A Wilson after recovering from a severe car accident in January that left him uncertain if he would walk or talk again. After spending months relearning basic activities, Cairone made his professional debut in July with the Arizona Complex League Brewers, appearing in four games with seven strikeouts across 5.1 innings. The 18-year-old will finish the 2026 season with Wilson, nine months after his accident and two months after his initial return to pitching.
