Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Garrett Mitchell, 27-year-old Milwaukee Brewers center fielder, was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to illness but returned to action by Saturday. Through early May 2026, Mitchell is hitting .219 (21-for-96) with 1 HR, 21 RBI, 5 SB in 32 games. He experienced a significant cold snap with a .424 OPS over 15 games following a hot start (.273/.437/.436 through 20 games). In May specifically, he's hitting just .129/.176/.161 with a concerning 41.2% strikeout rate and only 2 walks in 34 plate appearances. His season-long whiff rate of 37.5% ranks sixth-worst in MLB among qualified hitters. Mitchell continues to struggle with high fastballs and has a history of injuries limiting his availability since debuting with Milwaukee in 2022.
