Brewers' next top pitching prospect showcases impressive "stuff" in Double-A debut

Josh Knoth, the Brewers' ninth-ranked prospect and third-ranked pitching prospect, made his Double-A debut with the Biloxi Shuckers on September 1 at age 21, returning from Tommy John surgery that cost him the entire 2025 season. In five innings, Knoth allowed four earned runs and three home runs but displayed strong velocity reaching 96 mph and spin rates between 2,700-2,850 rpm. After a rough first inning, he settled in effectively, retiring 13 of his final 16 batters faced and demonstrating his ability to generate strikeouts. The Brewers' confidence in Knoth's development appears justified given his pitch metrics compare favorably to the organization's other successful starters.
