Scouting Report

Updated May 19, 2026

Chad Patrick (2-2) is a right-handed pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers who has appeared in 9+ games through mid-May 2026. He was recently taken out of a start after 3.1 innings against the Cardinals on May 4, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits and 3 walks with 4 strikeouts. Patrick has shown solid ERA (3.45 across 31.1 innings) but struggles with control and strikeout generation. The Brewers are considering shifting him from a rotation role to full-time bullpen duty, with recent appearances coming out of the bullpen where he has been more effective (scoreless innings, holds, and strikeouts). His role remains in flux as the team awaits the return of Brandon Woodruff from injury.

Strengths

+ Solid 3.45 ERA through 31.1 innings
+ Effective in relief appearances with scoreless innings
+ Recorded first hold with strikeout in relief on May 13
+ 5 strikeouts over 3 scoreless innings in relief on May 9
+ 4 scoreless relief innings on May 16 (nearly unprecedented in Brewers history)
+ Versatile pitcher capable of multiple roles

Weaknesses

- High WHIP of 1.44 indicating too many baserunners allowed
- Poor K:BB ratio of 20:16 (1.25 K/BB) showing control issues
- Struggles to miss bats consistently
- Short outings as starter (3.1 innings in recent start)
- Inconsistent performance with 4 earned runs allowed in 2 of last 3 starts
- Role uncertainty as Brewers consider permanent shift to bullpen
- May lose rotation spot when Brandon Woodruff returns from injury
